2 | GRMC Heal th Currents At Guadalupe Regional Medical Center, when we say “our staff is our most important asset,” we truly mean it. Hospital leadership is continually focused on creating a workplace that provides meaningful work, mutual trust and a pervasive attitude of caring for all. An Employer of Choice team was created to proactively engage with new employees, ensure excellent communication and provide an active feedback loop to implement suggestions and continually improve the work atmosphere. Putting ourselves to the test Fay Bennett, the long-serving VP of Employee Services at GRMC, decided to test out the effectiveness of those efforts in 2019 by submitting an application to the national Modern Healthcare survey of hospitals for Best Places to Work in Healthcare. The submission process included a detailed assessment of the workplace, including pay and benefits, pre-employment screening process, leadership involvement, staffing and safety, training and development opportunities, and more. A crucial component of the assessment involved a lengthy, anonymous survey distributed to all full-time and parttime employees asking for staff opinions about their relationship with supervisors, opportunities for growth, compensation and benefits, culture and communication, and if they felt valued and essential to the organization. The staff at GRMC were thrilled to make the cut as one of the top 100 healthcare workplaces in the nation in 2019 and have continued to advance in ranking each consecutive year since. Even during the challenges of the pandemic, GRMC continued to shine as a top-notch employer. But this year’s surprise surpassed all expectations, with GRMC being chosen as the Fourth Best Healthcare Workplace in the Nation! The attitude of genuine caring for patients, families and co-workers is promoted and integral to our values at GRMC. That culture seeps into every decision and is evident in small and big ways throughout the organization, and definitely in the opinion of our own staff composed of more than 800 employees, 100 physicians and 100 volunteers. Workplace excellence GRMC RECOGNIZED AS THE 4TH BEST PLACE TO WORK NATIONALLY IN HEALTHCARE IN 2022
