Looking for Solutions to Today’s Toughest Employee Engagement Issues?
When healthcare employees come to work every day, they are faced with sicker patients, constantly changing technology and unprecedented demands on their time. Healthcare leaders face even more challenges trying to do more with less in ever increasing increments. How can these leaders, patient care providers and the employees who support them stay engaged and energized…let alone find their way to Professional Paradise? Vicki Hess, RN, MS, Certified Speaking Professional has real world solutions to share with your audiences.
Vicki Hess is not just a presenter…she is your Passport to Professional Paradise!
Professional Paradise: Oxymoron or Business Imperative?
Far more than a feel good concept, Professional Paradise™ is a business–altering paradigm that revolutionizes the way people feel and think about work, and ultimately, how they perform. A synergistic approach that permeates an organization’s culture, Professional Paradise enables healthcare employees to:
- Become the CPO – Chief Paradise Officer – of their job, no matter what is happening around them
- Increase patient satisfaction and other key metrics
- Achieve remarkable results and a lasting, positive impact on patient care and the bottom line
Creating Long-Term Change
The author of two popular books (SHIFT to Professional Paradise and The Nurse Manager’s Guide to Hiring, Firing & Inspiring), Vicki completed research that led to the development of her Professional Paradise strategies and proprietary 5-step SHIFT™ methodology. Together, they form a holistic approach that changes unproductive thought patterns, hardwires new mindsets and creates lasting behavior change which in turn increases employee engagement.
Vicki works directly with her clients to create an audience full of Chief Paradise Officers who are motivated to transfer what they learn to their workplace.
