Employee Satisfaction/Engagement
Posted by: Juni Muhota at 6:14PM EST on May 30, 2009

In a time when the economy has impacted many organizations adversely in terms of reduction or elimination of merit and cost of living increases, layoffs and other cutbacks in areas such as travel, how are your organizations managing to ensure employee engagement. While we have seen record declines in turnover at my company, one has to wonder whether that is a result of increased satisfaction or simply a result of a tough economy.

Building a Hospital Workforce
Posted by: Dino at 10:19AM EST on May 5, 2009

More of a FYI, AHA News, 3/16/09, provides a good discussion on the "Board's guiding role in building and keeping a thriving hospital workforce" by incorporating human capital, or, "people measures", into the board's balanced scorecard.  Goal is to keep health, happiness, (and visibility) of their workforce at "top of their agenda."  

I can share a copy of the article for those interested.

Is this happening in your HCO?
