Meet the organization: After starting as a two-physician office more than 50 years ago, Missoula Bone & Joint has grown to a 160-employee operation that includes 12 physicians and 20 additional clinical staff members. The organization works to enhance collaboration and appreciation among team members through its job shadowing program, in which employees spend time in different departments to understand the work of others. Currently, the average employed time of Missoula staff members is 5 years, with more than 30 employees having worked with the organization for 10 years.
Added benefits: Committees within the organization host and arrange employee appreciation events throughout the year, such as contests and parties, in addition to a comprehensive benefits package that includes discounts for gyms, phones and home insurance. Most of Missoula's employees work only four days per week, and many open positions are posted and filled internally. The organization also offers continuing education funds to all staff members.
