Challenge
To attract highly skilled workers in a healthcare industry that was becoming increasingly competitive, while also retaining the irreplaceable talent in their current workforce, this health system sought a way to significantly beef up its employee benefits package, without creating additional costs or administrative hassles. In 2008, the Director of Work-Life Services found exactly that in their employee purchase program.
Solution
Through its longstanding partnership with their employee purchasing program, this health system has met its employee recruitment and retention goals, while strengthening its work-life balance initiatives that reinforce its corporate culture.
Program Performance
- Launch Date – October 2008
- Eligible Employees – 18,000
- Repeat Buyer Frequency - 87%
- Annual Participation – 28%
Anytime you implement a program like this you always have a fear of how much it’s going to require of you to manage on a day-to-day basis… The staff has been beyond phenomenal managing any issues that arise in a very quick turnaround time.
