Description:
Research has proven that an engaged workforce is critical to delivering safe, high-quality, patient-centered care.
For Northwell Health, talent was at a premium and quality of service and employee engagement were low. To begin its transformation journey, Northwell’s CEO implemented a corporate-wide strategy to advance engagement from the 38th to 90th percentile by 2020. Tactics involved leadership effectiveness training, an organizational rebrand, a stronger emphasis on customer service and a re-commitment to employees regarding the place they called “work.”
Five years later, and now at the 82nd percentile, Northwell is close to achieving its goal.
Presenters will share insights on early wins and future plans, while demonstrating that to drive high performance on all health care delivery measures, a successful engagement strategy cannot be an isolated HR process. Recognizing the importance of organizational culture and a “people” strategy, Northwell’s success was predicated on C-level commitment and collaboration across the enterprise.
