WellStar was again named to the NAFE Top 50 Companies and 10 Nonprofits for Executive Women by the National Association for Female Executives (NAFE). Overall our System was ranked No. 1 among nonprofits, up from third last year. The list identifies organizations whose policies and practices encourage women’s advancement and whose numbers at the highest levels of leadership demonstrate that commitment.
This is a recognition we should all be proud of, as it speaks directly to our System’s strong dedication to the advancement of women in leadership – and on a national scale. Females account for 82 percent of our workforce and 75 percent of the top 20 percent earners. These women lead our business units and have direct budget responsibilities.
On the clinical side, we recently introduced a Clinical Nurse Leader program for team members interested in careers focusing on patient outcomes strategies. There are also numerous on-site business and leadership courses available through our collaboration with Kennesaw State University’s Coles College of Business.
Those are just a few of the many career development opportunities available to our team members.The connection between WellStar’s reputation as a national leader in healthcare and accolades like the one above is no coincidence. We know that building a culture that encourages the success of all team members across every level is one of the fundamental drivers of world-class patient care.
