Employees at VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation attend the organization’s annual LiftED event.
The organization supports
its staff in several meaningful
ways, with professional growth
and mentorship, learning and
training opportunities, and a 50-50
hybrid work schedule that Jerome
says the staff really appreciate.
The foundation places a strong
emphasis on gathering and
responding to staff feedback —
such as a request for increasing
mental health benefits — fostering
a culture of listening and
continuous improvement.
Recognition is central to the
organization’s culture, woven into
daily life with staff recognized and
celebrated at every opportunity.
“We call it our good vibes
program, where we can
acknowledge each other for
demonstrating our values,” says
Jerome. “Then at our monthly
town hall, we give out prizes, again
recognizing people who are living
and demonstrating the values as
well. Those little things make a
big difference.”
Join the leading charity investing in
health care innovation in BC.
