Healthcare Roundtable #2
Healthcare turnover cannot be solved with isolated engagement initiatives. Leading healthcare organizations are rethinking how recognition, rewards, financial wellness, and employee experience work together to support retention in high-pressure clinical environments.
In this interactive discussion, healthcare HR and people leaders will explore how enterprise organizations are building scalable workforce strategies that strengthen culture, improve frontline engagement, and create a more sustainable employee experience across shifts, departments, and care settings.
The session will combine practical examples from successful recognition programs with broader perspectives on total rewards, financial wellbeing, and human-centered workforce design. Attendees will hear real stories of what is resonating with frontline teams, how organizations are operationalizing these programs at scale, and where leaders are seeing measurable impact on retention, morale, and workforce stability.
Discussion Topics:
• Designing recognition and rewards strategies that support frontline retention
• Creating consistent employee experiences across clinical teams and care environments
• Building people-first cultures that improve engagement and workforce resilience
• Measuring the organizational impact of recognition, rewards, and employee experience initiatives
