What happened to the CARE in healthcare?
Today's article from Employee Benefit News (link at the bottom) lists the "25 Places...with the best company culture, according to employees."
I find it Interesting that there's not a single healthcare organization listed in the Top 25. Why do you think that is? When I review the top 25 list, there are definitely some jumbos on there that are multi-billion dollar organizations - so size and revenue is not the reason. There are various organizational structures and 'remote vs. in house' models. So that's not it either. It sometimes seems as if we forget about the CARE aspect of healthcare. That should be care for the patient/member, care for the provider, care for the clients AND (last but certainly not least) care for the ASSOCIATES.
In today's highly competitive healthcare business (and yes it IS a business) there tends to be a lot of negativity, a lot of finger pointing and even more ineffective leaders. Combined with the ever-increasing need to expand the business and the revenue targets, the negativity and lack of leadership can very easily morph into a toxic corporate environment. Many times this negativity even flows into our own company's internal departments and colleagues. We silo our teams to prevent in-fighting and power struggles. Hopefully, those silos and that protection will help the teams and the company become more successful, right? How's that working for you today? Unfortunately not very well in the healthcare sector.
It doesn't have to be this way. There are plenty of great organizations and great leaders who work together in such a way that prevents the building of a toxic work environment. Through numerous mergers and acquisitions over the past twenty five years, I have had the pleasure to work with some of those effective leaders and organizations. Unfortunately, I have also had the opportunity to work in some of the most toxic and cut throat organizations in the business. So I have seen it done RIGHT and I have seen it done WRONG. I can tell you with no uncertainty - an effective organizational alignment and a positive workplace culture wins every time. It's better for your business, your bottom line AND your employees.
Has your organization gone through a recent merger or realignment? Is there a feeling of uncertainty in the crowd. Is there a lack of leadership and growing dysfunction in the ranks? If so, then you need a game plan to show your team that the organization does CARE - about the revenue, the clients AND the associates.
