LinkedIn’s Top Startups 2020 list is a reflection of how businesses are evolving through the pandemic, what industries are emerging and growing, and where people want to work in the face of an uncertain economy. LinkedIn’s selection criteria also took into account each startup’s ability to attract talent from other top employers previously recognized. Great Place to Work® conducted a rigorous analysis of the entire Modern Health workforce, analyzing critical sentiments like trust, acceptance and engagement. The certification confirms that 100 percent of Modern Health’s employees care about each other, feel they have meaningful responsibilities, and believes management trusts them to do a good job without watching over their shoulders.
