Model Employers
By Sheng Wang
Can a hospital be one of the top employers in the country? You bet! Seven American healthcare providers made it onto Fortune magazine's list of "The 100 Best Companies to Work For." In order of their ranking on the "100 Best Companies" list, these seven hospitals are: Griffin Hospital in Derby, Connecticut; Baptist Health Care in Pensacola, Florida; Northwest Community Hospital in Arlington Heights, Illinois; Baptist Health South Florida in Coral Gables, Florida; the Memorial Health University Medical Center in Savannah, Georgia; the Bronson Healthcare Group in Kalamazoo, Michigan; and the The Methodist Hospital System in Houston, Texas.
Here are some of the policies and practices that have helped these hospitals attract staff, inspire loyalty, and become enviable places to work.

Ask the Expert
Question:
How do I sell my job and attract high-level candidates?
Answer:
Compelling job postings! First, you need to be aware that the best and brightest have choices. They are highly valued by their current employer and sought after by other employers. You need to make your job stand out above the rest and give the candidate a reason to contact you.
Classified ads with very little detail are a thing of the past. Instead, job postings need to provide all of the detail necessary for a top prospect to make an informed choice between their current employer and a new one. They should be clear, comprehensive, and complete.
HEALTHeCAREERS Network provides 4,000 characters for your job description; use them to your advantage. If you want to get the most responses possible, you should appeal to both the intellectual and emotional sides of a top candidate. Most job postings will focus only on the responsibilities, i.e. "in this position, you will be responsible for doing this." But top performers want to know what the position will do for them and what type of day-to-day experiences they will have as an employee. Tell candidates the whole of the employment value proposition - what they will accomplish, who they will work with and what they will learn.
It is also a great idea to include community information such as size of town, climate and local activities. Many candidates will consider relocating if your location is more appealing than their own.
The highest quality candidates rarely look for a job; they look for career advancement opportunities. Job postings, therefore, must show how your organization will uniquely enable them to experience pride in their work, pride in their colleagues and pride in their employer.
For tips on making your job opportunity shine above all others, please contact our Customer Care Department at 888-884-8242 or email us.
