Introduction
Even the White House takes notice when employers display the level of dedication to advancing front-line workers for which CLC’s customers are known! On Friday 4/24, Mercy Health (Cincinnati), Norton Healthcare, TriHealth and UnityPoint Health represented all entry level healthcare champions who provide upward mobility for their associates.
At the White House Upskill Summit, employers were lauded for their success in helping their employees move into Middle Class jobs. Best practices for helping frontline workers develop new skills and earn higher wages were shared. Congratulations to all! Read more about Norton and TriHealth’s frontline efforts.
Why This Is a Really Big Deal
Ongoing development at the entry level is not always the first thing on the minds of healthcare executives, even if it is smart business. And recent challenges stemming from ACA make you wonder how these hospitals manage to prioritize these program and why they feel it’s still so important. But then, that’s what Catalyst Learning is all about:
“We are grateful for the opportunity to have worked with over 500 healthcare employers to increase the skills and upward mobility of entry and mid-level associates. It’s a win for the organization in retention and engagement and a win for the associate who gains a career he/she never dreamed possible. Executives like Jenny, Molly, Tony and Joyce are making this happen from one end of America to the other – and we humbly and sincerely thank them for their partnership.”
