Jun 30, 2026 | Read time: 5 min
U.S. News & World Report has once again named Solventum a Best Company to Work For, marking the second consecutive year we've earned this recognition. For a company just two years into its journey, that consistency says something meaningful.
"This recognition is really about our people," says Bryan Hanson, chief executive officer at Solventum. "It tells the story of a team that shows up for one another and stays connected to a shared purpose, helping enable better, smarter, safer healthcare to improve lives."
The U.S. News rankings assess factors that shape how people choose where to work. Solventum earned a perfect 5/5 score in Work-Life Balance, Physical and Psychological Comfort and Belongingness, reinforcing our focus on a positive, inclusive environment.
A culture built on purpose
This recognition reflects more than programs or benefits. It reflects a shared purpose that connects our teams across roles and regions.
That doesn’t happen by accident. "Culture is intentional," says Tammy Gomez, chief human resources officer at Solventum. "It's shaped by the actions, behaviors and decisions we make together every single day. When people feel valued and supported, they bring their full selves to work, and that's when great things happen."
U.S. News evaluated more than 5,000 public companies using employee sentiment, labor data and compensation benchmarks.
Two years of growing together
This past April marked two years since Solventum became an independent company. In that time, we’ve defined our values and built a culture people are proud of. Earning this recognition two years in a row shows it’s not one moment. It’s a pattern.
We remain focused on solving our customers’ toughest challenges while creating a workplace where employees can grow and do their best work.
Our culture shows up in both big moments and everyday ones. At our recent company picnic in Minnesota, where 2,000 employees live and work, teams came together to connect and recharge. Moments like these matter.
"When people feel a sense of belonging and connection, their well-being and engagement grow with it," says Gomez. "That's good for our people, and it's good for the work we do together."
Why this matters for the people we serve
A strong culture directly shapes the impact we deliver. When employees feel supported, they do their best work for customers, clinicians and patients.
Every breakthrough starts with people inspired to solve what matters. As Hanson puts it, "Our culture and our purpose are inseparable. The better we care for our people, the better we can care for the people they serve."
We’re proud of our progress and focused on what’s next. We’ll keep building a workplace where people feel they belong and can grow, because that’s how we advance our mission.
