“At Ensemble, we recognized the need to foster a culture of collaboration in new ways to keep our people feeling connected in a virtual world. We share weekly newsletters and biweekly inspirational videos, host quarterly Town Halls and even developed new internal social media channels where associates can share photos of their pets or give kudos to co-workers,” said Shannon White, Chief Operating Officer. “Providing these communication outlets has allowed us to maintain our collaborative team environment and people-first culture, even in a remote-work environment.”
Great Place to Work® is the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience and the leadership behaviors proven to deliver market-leading revenue, employee retention and increased innovation. According to Great Place to Work®, 78 percent of survey participants said Ensemble inspires innovation.
Innovation is a major part of Ensemble’s culture and mission. Ensemble believes the ideas of associates can truly make a difference in healthcare and recently created the Innovation Center to help bring those ideas to life. Associates are encouraged to submit ideas to the Innovation Center where they will be evaluated by a dedicated cross-functional team that tests the new ideas in a safe-to-fail environment, pushing the boundaries of products and processes and exploring radical approaches.
