Extracting data from text file in Powershell

I'm currently extracting data from a text file and then attempting to perform an action for each entry in the text file. See code below.

$Employees = Get-Content C:\User\Documents\UserWorkstations.txt
Foreach($name in $Employees)
{
  ping $name
}

After running my script it does not extract data from the text file and I get the following output:

cmdlet ForEach-Object at command pipeline position 2
Supply values for the following parameters:
Process[0]:

Get-Content -Path 'C:\User\Documents\UserWorkstations.txt' |
    Foreach-Object {
        Write-Host ('Pinging {0}' -f $_)
        ping $_
    }
