Des Moines Register names Monroe County Hospital & Clinics a winner of The Iowa Top Workplaces 2021 Award

Monroe County Hospital & Clinics (MCHC) has been awarded as the third Top Workplace 2021 by Iowa Top Workplaces in the mid-sized business category. The list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee engagement technology partner Energage LLC. The anonymous survey uniquely measures 15 culture drivers that are critical to the success of any organization: including alignment, execution, and connection, just to name a few.

“During this very challenging time, Top Workplaces has proven to be a beacon of light for organizations, as well as a sign of resiliency and strong business performance,” said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. “When you give your employees a voice, you come together to navigate challenges and shape your path forward. Top Workplaces draw on real-time insights into what works best for their organization, so they can make informed decisions that have a positive impact on their people and their business.”

In addition to being ranked third, this is MCHC’s sixth year in a row on the Top Workplace list!  “I am both very proud and humbled for Monroe County Hospital & Clinics to be recognized as a Top Workplace for the sixth year in a row,” said Kaylee Siebrecht, Director of Human Resources, MCHC. “Healthcare workers across the country have faced unfathomable challenges in the last year and a half. It hasn’t been easy, but with this award, it gives me great pride that MCHC employees are still continuously focused on providing the best care to our patients in a workplace that they enjoy. Research shows that higher employee engagement equals great patient satisfaction, which I believe we see each and every day.”

MCHC also ranked top place out of all organizations for having the “most clued-in senior management.” “I am extremely elated about our Top Workplace honor. To receive this award six years in a row is a significant accolade and speaks to our employees unwavering commitment. Obviously, 2020 was a challenging year as nothing about the year was business as normal. However, our employees all rose to the call and continued to provide high quality, patient focused care. I am also extremely proud that our senior leadership team received the “most clued-in senior management” of all 130 participating organizations,” said Veronica Fuhs, Chief Executive Officer, MCHC.
