Ochsner Health’s mission to serve, heal, lead, educate and innovate is reflected in a workplace culture grounded in trust, inclusivity, collaboration and a “patients first” philosophy. Team members are supported through a total rewards program that includes medical, dental and vision coverage, paid time off and parental leave, retirement plans, fertility and adoption assistance, tuition support, student loan assistance, and child and elder care resources. The system also prioritizes mental and financial wellbeing through confidential mental health services, peer support programs, earned wage access and unlimited financial coaching. Professional growth is encouraged through career coaching, the Ochsner Career Center and workforce development partnerships with regional academic institutions, including a nurse scholars initiative. Employee engagement ranks in the 86th percentile of Gallup’s healthcare company-level database, while overall turnover declined from 19.32% in 2023 to 16% in 2025. The system has received extensive national and regional recognition, including repeated placement on Fortune‘s “Best Workplaces in Health Care” list.
