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



These results strongly support the Friendly Society Private Hospital's position of being a leading employer of choice within the private healthcare (http://www. fsph. org. au/home. html) sector within South East Queensland, if not Australia.



Boasting an 85 bed acute care capacity, modern theatre suites, comprehensive medical and surgical units, cardiac and coronary care services, high dependency, Physiotherapy and Afterhours Medical Services, the Friendly Society Private Hospital is a dynamic and expanding facility that is embarking on a significant re-development in 2010.



The Friendly Society Private Hospital continually achieves industry awards and recognition for commitment to the delivery of professional and competent standards of practice and have been endorsed with the highest level of accreditation by the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards (ACHS) of which only 25% of facilities throughout Australia have been awarded.



Friendly Society Private Hospital team members are provided with attractive remuneration packages, generous salary packaging options, tax free dining, flexible and family friendly rostering, bulk billing for employees and their families via the Afterhours Medical Service and an incredibly strong commitment to ongoing education, training and professional development.
