Looking at our three moonshots surrounding costs, culture, and care, which do you align with the most? What are you doing in this area?

Culture= Building a culture that sees our colleagues as an "add" not just a "fit". We want more than someone who has the skills required for a job. In other words we want the nurse that stands out amongst all other nurses because they bring their whole-self to work (not just their skill set).

1) 25% off Self-care (massages, gyms, nutrition, smoking-cessation, etc.) 2) 25% off education 3) 25% off social experiences (concerts, trips, sport-clubs, etc.)

Is there an area where you were able to either create savings or stop costs from rising?

Putting money into our employee's Health Savings Account based on their participation in Wellness

Are you doing anything to reimagine corporate culture and wellbeing?

Yes, already answered in Q 2&3

If there were two physical solutions that could be turned into virtual or remote care instead, what would those be?

1) lab tests/ blood work 2) serious dental cleaning to help the busy and fearful people.

If you look at our 3 Moonshots - Costs, Culture, and Care; In one sentence, tell us what would be something positive for us to take from 2020 and bring into this new year?
