Meet the organization: Barnabas Health is an integrated healthcare delivery system with 21,221 employees. Its network includes six acute-care hospitals; two children's hospitals; a behavioral health center, including a statewide behavioral health network; ambulatory care facilities; geriatric centers; and comprehensive home care and hospice services. More than half (55 percent) of Barnabas Health employees have worked at the system for more than 10 years, and employees are the system's No. 1 hiring resource.
Added benefits: In 2014, Barnabas Health launched its "I Live For This" employee pride campaign to celebrate employees' contributions to the system and the communities it serves. As part of the campaign, 115 employees were interviewed and photographed. The system then created and displayed poster-sized portraits and tent cards with each participant's unique quote; produced four videos, which were posted on YouTube and on the system's corporate intranet; launched on the corporate intranet a photo gallery with bios for all; and held synchronized kick-off events at all of our facilities to recognize the participants. Other innovative and valuable offerings include: presale, discounted and VIP experience tickets for concerts, shows and sporting events; free travel and vacation planning services; discounts on wireless telephone services; and discounts on college tuition.
