Geisinger to add 1,500 new jobs
Following a decade of unprecedented growth, Geisinger Health System has launched a nationwide recruitment effort to increase its workforce 5 percent, by hiring more than 1,500 physicians, advanced practitioners, nurses and support staff.
And that recruiting “will certainly continue to include many positions in the central Pennsylvania region, where Geisinger was founded and has its corporate headquarters,” according to an early evening statement released by Geisinger.
“Caring for more than 3 million patients every year takes a team,” said Julene Campion, vice president of talent management at Geisinger, in a prepared statement. “Every day, our 30,000 employees strive to improve that care. This responsibility has motivated Geisinger to push the boundaries of geography and healthcare innovation, grow its medical specialty and subspecialty offerings, and recruit the best and the brightest for more than 1,500 critical healthcare positions to better care for our patients in the communities we serve.”
Geisinger is seeking candidates for all levels of employment, including administration, clerical, environmental services, food services, laboratory services, information technology, marketing, occupational therapy, pharmacy and research.
In the past year, Geisinger President and CEO Dr. David Feinberg has also instituted a $10 minimum wage across the health system.
10 PERFORMANCE CONVERSATION STARTERS

You’re a hero when you get hired and a loser during traditional performance reviews.
It’s a waste to hire for strength and evaluate for weakness.
Replace traditional annual reviews with monthly performance conversations. Better yet, discuss performance in some way, every week. Make it normal, not an exception, to discuss performance.

MERGER IN THE WIND? 5 Important Career Management Reminders
For potential suitors in the healthcare mergers craze that seems to reflect the idea that bigger is better, or at least safer, the important question at hand is how long will it take to turn around a 1,093-foot nuclear-powdered aircraft carrier in the Houston ship channel that is 45 feet deep and only 500 feet wide?
Meanwhile there are consultants, investment bankers and lawyers standing on the sidelines, much as they did during the 1990s merger phase, ready to reap big fees to unwind or litigate a difficult divorce before the creditors call the question.
For executives who must also worry about their own career path, the potential for layoffs in mergers is no laughing matter. As one CEO said of his merger with another regional system, “There are going to be a lot of people who lose their jobs through no fault of their own.”
If you are employed by an organization in serious merger talks, or waiting for the FTC or the courts to bless the consolidation, what should you do?
