IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Nihon Kohden, a U.S. market leader in precision medical products and services, today announced that it has been named a great workplace for the fourth year in a row by the Great Place to Work^® Institute, the global authority on high-trust, high-performance workplace cultures.

“We believe that being named a Great Place to Work is one of the highest honors we could receive,” said Yasuhiro Yoshitake, president and CEO of Nihon Kohden America. “Because this is based on feedback from employee surveys that are conducted independently by the Great Place to Work Institute, this is an accurate representation of how employees feel about the company and the company’s dedication to its employees. As always, Nihon Kohden is committed to continually improving its culture and ensuring our employees feel valued and rewarded.”

Nihon Kohden’s recertification was based on anonymous feedback from current employees on the employee experience, atmosphere, rewards, pride, communication and leadership.
