Communications Workshops
HR Portals and Employee Self
Service
This case study
will provide insights into branding the employment experience and assisting
colleagues in understanding their "deal" with Mercy Health System. The
communication opportunities range from on-boarding, to making benefit decisions,
to accessing pay, career development, policy, time off, and work life
information to on-line total rewards statements. MHS's goal was to assist
colleagues in becoming self-sufficient thereby allowing HR to become a 7 x 24
service. Utilizing technology to make the most of available resources allowed
MHS to create a “one-stop shop” for all HR needs.

Employee Engagement - A Holistic View
Extend the employee
consumerism concept beyond health care engagement to employee appreciation of
and participation in an optimally configured, broad continuum of employer
rewards and security programs—“from joining to leaving.” This concept recognizes
that companies can define a winning employee value proposition and promise,
still balancing budgets and competitive pressures, while maximizing employee
capability to take action that manages their health and security needs for today
and tomorrow.
Given these dynamics, employers need a holistic view—one that
spans the breadth of potential program needs by addressing weaknesses and
enhancing strengths, and one that facilitates employee engagement and shared
responsibility across the continuum from recruitment to retirement.
Learning
objective:
To think about employee engagement across the spectrum of HR functions and to
create a value proposition that addresses employee needs in a broader way.
