We are proud to share their note here with our GoodSharing readers and will look forward to sharing your feedback with Mr. Bernard and Sr. Anne Marie.
Dear Bon Secours Ladies and Gentleman,
Yesterday morning, over thirty of our co-workers sat proudly at a breakfast awards ceremony and listened as Bon Secours Richmond was named this area’s 2010 Employer of Choice! The Greater Richmond Chamber of Commerce and the Richmond Society for Human Resource Management have sponsored the annual Employer All Star Awards for 12 years.
Being named Richmond’s top employer is based on many factors, including our unrelenting focus to “stay the course” even during today’s tough economy. We’ve continued to implement innovative programs to help employees at work and in their personal lives. From tuition reimbursement to on-site childcare to merit increases, we’ve remain committed to a caring and supportive work environment. Our recent employee engagement scores reflect this commitment.
Our recognition did not stop with one award on Wednesday. We received two others including the Best Recruitment, Engagement and Retention Practices award for the second year in row. During Fiscal Year 2009, Bon Secours Richmond received almost 50,000 applications for 1,300 jobs, which is a true testament to the work that you do and the culture we have created here.
We received the prestigious Alfred P. Sloan Award for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility for the fifth straight year. We attract and retain the high-caliber employees we have by offering them competitive work-life benefits; thank you to the team who makes that possible for the rest of us.
Our hospitals have served the Richmond community for more than 100 years, and it is extremely gratifying to be recognized as the area’s leading employer. Our mission is to provide good help to those in need, and I know this is possible because of the combined contributions of more than 7,000 Bon Secours employees here.
Please know how proud Bon Secours is of your work. Again, thank you for making the ministry of Bon Secours successful and extending world-class care to our patients and our community.
“We have a lot to be proud of, I am not sure it has sunk in that one of the best hospitals in the country is in our own back yard, here in the Richmond area.” That is the reaction of Michael Robinson, CEO of Memorial Regional Medical Center and Richmond Community Hospital.
In March of 2010, Bon Secours Memorial Regional was listed by Tompson Reuters as an Everest Award Winner, part of an elite group of 23 hospitals among the 100 selected as the top hospitals in the country.
As the only Virginia hospital to be honored, Memorial stands as an example of the quality care the entire Bon Secours Virginia system provides to our community. We are privileged to provide the highest standard of care in the country to the central Virginia region.
For our leaders like Robinson, the recognition of clinical excellence and compassionate care is no surprise. “This is what we do, every day, consistently,” he said. “This is a recognition of our engaged patients and the community we serve. This is where I would bring my family and know they are in the very best hands.”
