The Hire Connection: 4 Winning Strategies To Enhance Your Company Culture

A successful company starts with a successful culture. In order to run a truly successful healthcare facility, you have to build a strong company culture among your physicians, nurses, and other hospital staff. Your team members will perform better (which equates to satisfied patients who return for more services) and be more likely to stay with your company longer (which equates to reduced recruiting and training costs). As an experienced medical recruiting firm, we understand the immense importance of a strong corporate culture and we strive to do everything we can to help you build one. Here are a few of our tried and true tips for improving the culture within your institution.

1. Show Each Employee How Their Role Fits Into The "Big Picture"
The workforce is continuously evolving, and the most important priorities for employees change with the decades. Many of today's workers are not content simply clocking in and clocking out - they want to understand how their roles impact the company as a whole. Demonstrating to each team member how their position affects the big picture may help boost morale - and, in turn, the organization's culture.

2. Make Upper-Level Management Accessible
Today's employees want to know that they matter to their managers and bosses. According to Healthcare Finance, the accessible presence of hospital CEOs and other leadership roles helps employees feel that the company's leaders have their team's best interests in mind. The days of delivering orders from behind a desk are long gone; hospitals that institute a two-way dialogue between employees and upper management typically rate much higher in employee satisfaction surveys.

3. Provide Feedback Regularly
Providing consistent feedback is becoming more and more important to today's employees - especially among the millennial generation (those born from around the early 1980s to the late 1990s). You don't have to hold a formal performance evaluation to provide feedback - though these are important and should be held at least once a year. However, a simple "good job on that procedure," or "your patient spoke very highly of your care," will go a long way.

4. Institute Peer Interviews
Hiring the right people is a critical step in the retention process. If you hire someone who is not fit for their role or your company, you will soon have to deal with the entire process of recruiting and training a new individual all over again. When our healthcare recruiting experts source candidates for our clients, we conduct an in-depth screening process to ensure that you interview only the applicants with the highest potential. We recommend taking this one step further by asking some of your top-performing staff to sit in on one of the final interviews with the applicant. Your team members are familiar with the day-to-day demands their positions require and may be more equipped to determine whether or not an applicant will be a good fit for the position.
