TIS provides several programs and practices that helped our organization achieve this award, such as:
- We promote a healthy culture by living our mission, vision, values and pillars of excellence. We take time to hire what we feel are the best of the best employees who can add to a high performing, caring Team.
- Our employees participate in or are in charge of activities ranging from how performance is assessed, the benefits program and even our company 'fun' events via the Employee Engagement and Enrichment Committee. The Fun events include an annual company party and an activity of the month throughout the year. "Sundae on a Monday", National Brownie Month, Sporting events are examples.
- Our comprehensive benefits package includes generous assistance for everything from compensation, insurances, special programs, a matched 401K program and one of the most liberal tuition reimbursement programs in the market.
- The Leadership team rounds daily, all shifts and weekends so we can interact with our staff on a continuous basis. A bi-monthly Town Hall is held where employees are encouraged to ask the President anything they wish and answers will be provided in an open forum.
- Communication is one of our strongpoints. Formal staff meetings take place monthly and are supplemented with bi-weekly updates. The intranet called the "INSIDE" displays daily updates, special events, etc. Our Chief of Staff sends a clinically oriented letter to each physician monthly and the Medical Committees meet jointly with the Leadership Team to set clinical guidelines.
- All managers meet as a group bi-weekly where updates are provided.
