According to Gallup, employee engagement impacts patient safety, customer ratings, productivity, and turnover, among other key areas of a health care institution. To ensure the highest quality of care and services are provided, a health care organization should make employee engagement a priority. Leaders can do this by developing employee engagement practices that occur year-round. Making it a strategic focus allows an organization to create road maps for developing employee development programs and other activities that can strengthen its team and overall care. For example, a health care organization should track engagement during regular rounding with staff, one-on-one meetings, and team meetings. During an interview with Becker’s Hospital Review, author Vicki Hess stated non-performance-related meetings serve as a good tool for evaluating employee motivation and utilizing the information to encourage specific behaviors. |
