Becoming an Employer of Choice: One Health Center's Impactful Journey

Session participants will learn, firsthand, from a community health center about its experience in becoming an Employer of Choice (EOC). The path to becoming an EOC starts with assessing the current state and role of each person in determining workplace culture. Participants will gain an understanding of the emotional and physical engagement necessary to commit to becoming an EOC, as well as the importance of becoming an EOC and its impact on recruitment and retention efforts. Finally, attendees will discuss where they see themselves today as it relates to becoming an Employer of Choice and the opportunities in front of them.

• Assess the current state of your workplace culture to prepare for the EOC.
• Explain the impact of EOC on recruitment and retention efforts.
• Evaluate your health center's readiness in becoming an EOC.
