| 3:15 – 3:30 | Break |
| 3:30 – 4:30 | "Leadership: The CEO’s Role in Building a Great Workplace" |
Healthcare leaders and their organizations are facing enormous challenges…tightened budgets, employee downsizing, increased regulation, tough competition, and more. Many are dealing with these challenges by working harder rather than smarter, resulting in exhaustion, ineffectiveness and a non-engaged work environment. As leaders of a company, it is imperative that CEOs and c-suite executives seize opportunities to build empowered networks of dedicated and enthusiastic employees.
During this session, you will understand the role CEOs, c-suite executives and board members play in creating a "Best Place to Work" environment – one that places an emphasis on tomorrow’s workforce rather than today’s. Attendees will learn tactics that will give way to eager brand ambassadors (i.e. employees) and create a supportive and engaged work environment for employees and stakeholders alike. Applying these tactics will in turn fuel real results and significantly improve financial and clinical outcomes for your organization.
