This Wayne Company Is One Of The Best Workplaces For The Next Generation, Report Says

WAYNE, NJ — Young professionals looking for a local workplace may want to consider this Wayne company, according to one report. Getinge made it to "The Next Gen 100" — or, the top 100 workplaces for employees in Generation Z, according to RippleMatch.

The list is based on several factors, including a company's investment in professional training and development, benefits and commitment to diversity and education. Companies considered for recognition must have a strong commitment for nurturing and growing the careers of their employees, mentorship opportunities, training programs and clear paths for expanded responsibility and upward mobility.

And Getinge — a medical-device company based in Wayne — made the cut.

“Throughout our history, and especially as we have faced the challenges introduced by the COVID-19 pandemic, Getinge has worked to offer the highest levels of support in many areas that are essential to building the new generation of leaders in all areas of our work,” said Eric Honroth, Getinge's president of North America. “This designation as a top workplace for younger professionals is a reflection of our company-wide efforts to offer young professionals the support and resources they need to excel.”

RippleMatch — a platform for early-career recruiting — cited several reasons for putting Getinge in the top 100. Factors included a high intern to full-time retention rate, the ability to find mentors through Getinge's open peer support network, and "excellent" benefits, including a flexible/remote work culture that promotes work-life balance.
