Enhancing the Experience of Our Workforce Family

There’s been a lot of work going on to make GBMC HealthCare a top employer in Baltimore. Thanks to the incredible work of our leaders, employee turnover rates are decreasing, we are using far fewer agency nurses as we have more nurses on-staff as part of the GBMC HealthCare family, and our employee engagement scores have risen year-over-year. 

One way we are continuing to improve our employees' experiences is by implementing Workday. This enterprise resource planning (ERP) software brings together many business programs that have historically functioned within separate systems. With Workday, we will manage and streamline various aspects of day-to-day business activities, such as human resources, finance, payroll, and supply chain. 

For our staff, this means that rather than going to multiple different systems to view their paystubs or complete common tasks such as performance reviews or required learnings, they can easily access within one system. Gone are the days of needing to remember multiple passwords for multiple platforms. 

Workday is just one example of the many ways we are investing in enhancing employee experience. We are excited that we’re rapidly approaching our launch date of February 1. As a reminder, I encourage all staff to stay up to date with their emails, as we are sending many communications with helpful tips and action steps to prepare for Workday. I’d like to thank Robert Schmollinger, Internal Audit Director, for his leadership of the implementation, as well as the multidisciplinary teams within HR, finance, payroll, and supply chain for the very detailed planning and effort taken to make this complex improvement possible. 

Our New Garage Is Opening! 

We’ve officially passed our inspections, and I’m excited to announce that the brand new ~400 space Berman garage is opening for patients and visitors on Tuesday, January 30 at 7 a.m.! This is a long-awaited enhancement to campus that will help alleviate many of our recent parking challenges. 

Let’s Go Ravens! 

It’s an exciting time for our Baltimore Ravens! Let’s go Ravens this weekend as they take on the Chiefs for the AFC Championship. And for all those Taylor Swift fans out there, I hope you get a sighting of Taylor watching from the stands too!
