Stryker is doing something right. For the fifth time, the company has won the Gallup Great Workplace Award. Stryker is the only medical device company on the list and is one of two five-time award winners. Among the characteristics that make the 27 winners stand out is their global leadership role and employee engagement. Some may disagree that Stryker is such a great place to work, as the company announced it plans to layoff 5% of its global workforce last year.

Earlier in the year, the Gallup Management Journal praised Stryker employees for their level of engagement at the company, which leads to greater employee happiness, according to the survey.  The company has consistently made “best” lists. Last year, the company ranked 68th on Fortune’s “100 Best Companies to Work For” list.
 
The winners were notified in March and will be presented their awards during the 2012 Gallup Summit next month.
