The Friendly Society Private Hospital goes a long way to providing the best possible conditions and best possible working environment for their employees to enjoy. As a world class state of the art, acute care medical facility that consistently demonstrates a 'friendly' and open culture, in a stunning sub tropical Queensland location; it is little wonder that a recent employee survey conducted by independent research company, Best Practice Australia reported that 84% of Friendly Society Private Hospital employees firmly believe the 'Friendlies' is a "Truly Great Place to Work".
Best Practice Australia's research into over 470 organisations with over 155,000 respondents across both the Public & Private Healthcare (http://www. fsph. org. au/home. html) Sectors nationally has identified a model of 5 Types of Culture … from Blame to Success, with the leading Culture being that of Success. This Type of Culture is very close-knit, cohesive and focused with a large number of employees feeling engaged and optimistic about the organisation's future.
Leading private healthcare (http://www. fsph. org. au/home. html) provider The Friendly Society Private Hospital's survey results have placed them in the Culture of Success category which translates to a work place that is innovative, energetic and enjoyable to be a part of. This was the fifth Employee Culture Survey conducted at the Friendly Society Private Hospital, with a staggering 94% of employees responding to the survey. The research identified some compelling results for the Friendly Society Private Hospital when benchmarked against Australian and New Zealand healthcare sector norms. Friendlies employees believe that throughout their hospital:
there is a strong sense of purpose and direction people have high levels of confidence and trust in Executive Management people are optimistic about the hospital's future there is a climate of trust and respect amongst employees there is a friendly atmosphere throughout the hospital the Friendly Society Private Hospital is a Truly Great Place to Work
"These results are outstanding for the Friendlies. Having surveyed this hospital five times over the past ten years, it is quite obvious that the cultural change journey has worked. The approach by executive for steady improvement over time (as opposed to large quantum leaps), has really paid off for the hospital. Friendlies set a number of industry benchmarks in this most recent survey, the hospital enjoys a low turnover risk, and it is a Truly Great Place to Work." Jacqui Parle, Executive Director, Best Practice Australia
