The Highmont Group announced today its rollout of a new division focusing on Passion Excellence Development in the healthcare sector. The focus is to assist hospitals and healthcare facilities help their workers regain the passion they once had when they entered the field. "Healthcare is a tough industry and initially people get into it for all the right reasons - to make a difference in the lives of others. Along the way through government regulations, corporate restructuring, staffing cuts, turnover and an unending pressure to do more with less, many healthcare workers are disenchanted and want out. This isn't good for patients, it isn't good for hospitals and it isn't good for America's healthcare system. We need more motivated healthcare workers not less," stated Kelly Laughlin, President of The Highmont Group.
The focus of Passion Excellence aims to turn the tide in the American healthcare system one hospital at a time - one employee at a time. Through one on one coaching, seminars, and training/development programs Passion Excellence is designed to help hospitals and healthcare facilities create a more engaged workforce. "Good healthcare is not about medicine. It is about the people working in our hospitals caring for our patients. Something has to be done quickly as our population continues to age and we have less and less clinicians to care for them. We are going to have a big problem 10 years down the road, if we don't do something today," commented Laughlin.
Laughlin firmly believes that if hospitals will invest in their employees in this way, many current "problems" will take care of themselves "If a hospital has motivated and engaged workers who are empowered to do what they do best, positive financial results will be a by-product and most of all the patients will be getting outstanding care," Laughlin stated.
