|
|
LifeBridge Health was again awarded the winner of the Best Places to Work in
Greater Baltimore in the large business category (500-plus
employees). More than 80 businesses and organizations entered
the third annual competition hosted by the Baltimore Business Journal.
"It's a combination of our corporate culture and benefits that led us to be
recognized for a third year as Baltimore's best place to work among large
companies. Throughout our system, each employee is a valued participant doing
his or her role providing excellent health care for our patients,” said Warren
Green, president and CEO, LifeBridge Health.
In August, when the country was struggling with the reality of high gas
prices, all 6,119 LifeBridge Health employees received a surprise $50 gift card
for gas to help with summer vacation travel.
Also this year, LifeBridge Health launched its own Facebook Page® with job
listings, information on recruiting events, work-related videos, a photo album
of – and links to – LifeBridge Health institutions, and soon the ability to chat
with recruiters.
"LifeBridge Health is the first Baltimore-based health care system to
tap into this market. The venture helps us target our ads to potential
employees who are interested in the jobs and information we have to offer,” said
Taylor Foss, vice-president of Human Resources at LifeBridge Health.
Other employee benefits and services include adoption assistance; phased-in
retirement; a telecommuting program; BridgeList, an online forum where employees
with similar interests can meet, share skills, start carpools and swap free
items; and the LB rewards program. Employees earn points in the LB rewards
program for anything from above-and-beyond patient service to helping LifeBridge
Health maintain a strong accreditation score. Employees can redeem their points
at any time for various gifts, large or small, depending on the number of points
they have.
LifeBridge Health is a regional health
organization that includes Sinai Hospital of
Baltimore, Northwest
Hospital, Levindale Hebrew Geriatric
Center and Hospital, Jewish Convalescent &
Nursing Home
, and related
subsidiaries and affiliates.
