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.

What If Engagement Was A Risk Management Issue?
“We have a fundamental belief that our single most important asset is our people,” Jones said in a recent interview. “If you think about the industry, and assets and liabilities, it’s all about maintaining risk. For us that means developing a culture where we’re so focused on making sure they have all the right tools to do their jobs.”
If I gave a quiz and asked you the industry spokesperson who said this you would probably say a head of HR or maybe a CEO. What if I told you the truth teller was a banker, albeit a CEO? What if I also told you he positioned employee satisfaction as a “risk management” issue?
He also said, “I go back to the basic tenet that you need to make sure people are always viewed as your most important asset,” says Bob Jones, chairman and CEO of Old National Bancorp. “Don’t take them for granted.”
What advice would you give to organizations about benefits?
Steal as many good ideas as you can. I go back to the basic tenet that you need to make sure people are always viewed as your most important asset. Don’t take them for granted. We use the analogy that when you’re dating someone you do those nice things in the beginning but sometimes when you’re married for a long time you forget to do them. But as you’re thinking about your associates, you have to remember the little things make a big difference, like picking up a phone and telling someone, “Thank you.”
