Union Hospital has been awarded the Advisory Board 2018 Workplace of the Year Award. The annual award recognizes hospitals and health systems nationwide that have outstanding levels of employee engagement.
"The recognition for Union Hospital is made possible due to a team of staff and physicians who have a passion to provide compassionate and high-quality care to the Wabash Valley. We have a highly qualified team of caregivers focused on giving the best possible care to the patients and the families that we serve," shared Union Health CEO, Steve Holman.
Engaged employees, as defined by Advisory Board, are those who exhibit both loyalty and commitment to the organization. These employees are willing to go above and beyond to help the organization succeed. The award recognizes Union Hospital's commitment to creating a best-in-class work environment for its employees.
"Engaged staff don't just enjoy their jobs and their workplace-they're willing to go above and beyond to help their organization succeed," said Sarah Rothenberger, Managing Director, Advisory Board Survey Solutions. "Not surprisingly, health care organizations with higher levels of staff engagement also have higher patient satisfaction scores, better staff retention, and a stronger culture of safety. Our award winners have demonstrated an impressive ability to inspire the highest levels of engagement across the country while maintaining remarkably low levels of disengagement."
Union Hospital is one of only twenty organizations nationwide to receive the award.
