Ensemble Recognized as a Top Workplace for its Commitment to Associate Engagement and Innovation
Ensemble Health Partners (Ensemble), an industry-leading revenue cycle management company, announced it has been recognized as a top workplace in the country by two national organizations. This is the second year in a row Ensemble has earned the Top Workplaces USA Award, issued by the research company Energage. Ensemble is also proud to be recently Certified™ by Great Place to Work.
“Ensemble’s success is only possible because of our outstanding people. At Ensemble, we believe in putting people first, last and always. We empower people to be the difference and value and encourage insight and innovation from our associates,” said Judson Ivy, Founder, President and CEO of Ensemble. “Receiving these national awards back-to-back is a testament to the exceptional culture we strive to foster at Ensemble. We once again thank our associates for their commitment and dedication to Ensemble and to our mission of redefining the possible in healthcare.”
The Top Workplace USA Awards are designed to recognize organizations around the country that have cultivated exceptional workplace cultures. The awards are a result of an internal, anonymous associate survey conducted by Energage. Responses positively emphasized Ensemble’s innovation, a strong feeling of being appreciated by the company, open-mindedness, professional development and work-life flexibility. Currently, nearly 80 percent of Ensemble associates work remotely.

“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.

These programs include virtual learning plans and career development courses available to all associates with courses that focus on coaching for peak performance, high impact feedback and listening, developing yourself and others and more. Ensemble’s six-month Mentor Program is designed to give both mentors and mentees opportunities to learn from one another’s experiences, skills and expertise.
