What It Means to Be a Great Place to Work

Read Time: 1 min

Kettering Health Network strives to be a great place to work in addition to being a great place to receive care. But what does that mean?

When defining this goal, the network uses the Great Place to Work Model: a great place to work is one where you trust the people you work for, have pride in what you do, and enjoy the people you work with.

Being a great place to work is determined by three key relationships.

Trust Matters: Relationship with Leaders

At a great place to work, you trust the people you work for. This relationship is based on mutual respect between you and your leaders, along with a feeling of credibility and fairness.

Purpose Matters: Relationship to Your Job

When you’re at a great place to work, you’re proud of your team, your company, and what you accomplish both by yourself and as part of the group. You feel like your job is not “just a job” and feel connected to a greater meaning.

Team Matters: Relationship with Co-workers

Great places to work are welcoming and make you feel like you are part of a family or team that unites around a common purpose.

Becoming a great place to work is an ongoing journey. Kettering Health Network assesses the strength of these relationships in the employee engagement and pulse surveys, learning which areas we can continue to improve.

Serving our community is great work, and that takes great effort. We look forward to working with you as we move forward.
