Without question, the last three years have been remarkably difficult for all of us who work in health care. Our people are our greatest strength, and despite the challenges that remain ahead, we maintain our commitment to recruiting and retaining the very best employees, and to creating the best possible work environment for everyone on our Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health team.
Your feedback, including the results of our regular employee engagement surveys, guides our ongoing efforts to improve operational excellence. We will continue to focus on the things you’ve told us are most important to you, including compensation, staffing, recognition, and well-being.
A few key areas of our investment in you include:
- Continuing to offer the most competitive compensation and benefits possible, which is one of the most tangible ways we recognize your outstanding efforts throughout the year
- Continuing to encourage your career development by providing resources to support your professional growth
- Significant enhancements to our well-being programs, including the recent increase to eight free EAP counseling sessions per year
- Recognizing your contributions with special employee events and programs, such as “Take a Break” meal vouchers and the return of our holiday meal celebrations
Each one of you plays an incredibly important role at LG Health, and we will continue to work hard each day to provide a work environment that prioritizes your personal health and well-being. We recognize that we still have a lot to do. Please look for another opportunity to share your feedback in a follow-up employee engagement survey later this spring.
You are a tremendously talented and compassionate team of health-care professionals, and your efforts have enabled our 130-year-old organization to remain strong and healthy throughout these challenging times.
Our Board of Trustees and leadership team thank you for the passion, commitment, and best that you continually bring to your work, and for your determination to always keep our patients at the center of all that we do. Today and every single day, we deeply appreciate your unwavering dedication to our mission of advancing the health and well-being of the communities we serve.
