The 2015 Employee Engagement Survey launches Monday, March 23 and runs through Friday, April 10.
With the theme "Teamwork," this year's confidential survey will be conducted simultaneously throughout Yale New Haven Health System and include employees at Yale New Haven, Bridgeport and Greenwich hospitals, the Grimes Center, Health Services Corporation and Northeast Medical Group (NEMG).
"Over the last year, we have talked a lot about our values," said Kevin Myatt, senior vice president and chief human resources officer, YNHHS. "This survey reflects our commitment to those values, which includes respecting staff opinion and our promise to be accountable for survey results and take appropriate actions."
In response to nurses' requests on last year's Employee Engagement Survey for more communication, nursing has launched a new video series, "Conversations with Sue Fitzsimons." Available on the nursing website, the videos will feature Fitzsimons, RN, PhD, senior vice president, Patient Services, and chief nursing officer, and other nursing leaders. The series will feature updates on nursing activities, including shared governance, Magnet re-designation efforts, the Nursing Strategic Business Plan and other topics designed to keep nurses informed and help them enhance their practice. Nursing has also launched a special email address where nurses can ask questions and share ideas about improving nursing at YNHH.
