Three Core Fundamentals for Employee Engagement at Your Hospital

Employee engagement is an important driver of organizational success in any organization, and hospitals are no different. Engaged employees are less likely to leave an organization and more likely to work harder without feeling like they've sacrificed for the organization — both of which benefit the organization.

Despite its importance, engagement is often underemphasized by many organizations because improving it can be a challenging endeavor, says Brad Federman, president, Performancepoint LLC. However, he believes focusing on three key areas of engagement can significantly improve the level of engagement employees have within your organization.

MHA hosting webinar on fraudulent leave claims and FMLA

On Feb. 16, the Mississippi Hospital Association will host a webinar, Weeding out Fraudulent Leave Claims & avoid intermittent FLMA Leave Abuse, from 2 p.m. until 3:30 p.m.

Intermittent leave and abuse of leave are some of the most difficult issues for HR professionals and managers to handle under the FMLA. Many managers feel handcuffed by employees' use of intermittent leave and may struggle to manage attendance issues related to employees' use of leave without interfering on employees' rights to take leave under the FMLA. The webinar will review the dos and don’ts of handling FMLA leave and provide employers practical tips to lawfully manage FMLA leave.

The instructor will be Karen L. Gieselman of Fisher & Phillips LLP. The registration fee is $155. The fee includes one connection and site fee. One or more individuals from the same facility may participate for the same fee. Register online here.
