U@C Episode 5: How Strong Cultures Endure, Part 1

In part one of this two-part series, we dive into leadership and its influence on shaping organizational culture. Did you know that according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average tenure at an organization in the United States is just four years? At Craig, the average is around seven to eight years, with many people staying 10, 20, 30 or even more than 40 years. What contributes to such remarkable longevity and loyalty? The answer lies in one powerful buzzword: culture.

Effective strategies to motivate and retain employees are vital tools for leaders across every industry. In this episode, our host Dr. Jandel Allen-Davis, CEO and president of Craig Hospital, talks with her predecessors Mike Fordyce and Denny O’Malley. Together, they explore what shapes and influences workplace culture and how the spoken and unspoken contribute to the intricate dynamics of how teams, patients and leaders engage and excel.

Tune in and learn how each CEO stepped up and influenced a culture that continues to attract and retain talent and lead an established world-renowned rehabilitation hospital.
