ALEGENT HEALTH
Alegent Health is an Omaha based non profit health care system composed of seven hospitals with about 2,000 beds and more than 200 clinic and outpatient locations, 1,200 physicians, and over 7,500 other employees who work throughout the organization.
Several years ago, Alegent recognized that HR issues needed “acute care treatment.” Turnover rates of 24%, coupled with over 500 unfilled positions, were costing the firm over $15 million annually.
Four years later, the turnover rates have declined to 12% and open positions have dropped to fewer than 100. Because of their improvements, Alegent’s HR practices, and especially its retention successes, won several local and national awards. Alegent was named one of the “Best Places to Work in Omaha.” The award was based on surveys of employees that asked about credibility, respect and fairness, pride, and camaraderie. Alegent also received a Workforce Management’s Optimas Award in the financial impact category for its success at recruiting and retaining key staff. Alegent is clearly being effective with some HR activities to win all the awards.
