Ascend State of the Union
Welcome to the Ascend "State of the Union" site
This internal, employees only site, is to provide you with information on what is happening around the organization. This site will be updated monthly with new information, announcements, forms and any upcoming events to make sure everyone is included in all the exciting things unfolding at Ascend. Please reach out with any questions as we kick off this new form of communication.
Congratulations
Congratulations to NOVA and MO for reaching their first milestone in the Office Reward and Recognition Program. NOVA reached 20 and MO reached 220. All teams get to share in a reward for helping us reach more patients and families that need our care.
Canned Food Drive
Ascend we encourage all of our team mates to give back in their communities.
Please let us know how we can help.
Our New Jersey team has decided to collect canned goods for the upcoming holiday season. They each picked a charity of their choice and will be donating to those locations.
How to “Manage Up”
Managing up your colleagues is a way we can identify and communicate above and beyond performance.
Here are a couple of ways we can do that.
Fall Fun Fest Ascend Missouri/Kansas
We love seeing photos from the offices.
Please send in photos of events and any other special things going on at your locations.
People Operations Updates
Coming Soon:
Employee Satisfaction Surveys
Nov 1st to Nov 30th
We are pleased to announce that we are using Pinnacle Quality Insight, an independent third party, to conduct anonymous employee satisfaction surveys using a software called Retain. You will receive an email and/or text message to participate in the semiannual, organization-wide survey to check in and see how things are going with your job.
We value your feedback and use it to improve your workplace environment.
PTO Update
We truly appreciate all of your hard work and dedication to our patients and to your role at Ascend Health. In an effort to encourage the use of earned paid time off (PTO), we are increasing the year-end carry over limit from 40 hours to 80 hours. In addition, we continue to evaluate our options related to a forced cash-out of accrued but unused PTO, as well as payment of PTO upon separation. We look forward to sharing more details with you soon.
