MSU Health, a system that combines education, research and clinical care, prioritizes diversity, equity and inclusion above all. The system emphasizes this for moral, legal and business reasons, knowing that diverse organizations see enhanced performance, better decision-making and higher profits. Employees are offered benefits packages with medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance, as well as retirement plan options, annual skill development stipends, professional development programs, free Michigan State University college tuition and reduced tuition rates for dependent family members. Since 2023, MSU Health Care has administered employee engagement surveys to monitor work culture, work-life balance, career satisfaction, intent to stay, connection to the organization’s mission, and more. Using survey results, the system built an action plan to address gaps and create a roadmap to increase employee satisfaction. The system has also created a leadership academy, run by senior leadership, that offers training and safe learning opportunities. MSU Health Care was a 2023 recipient of the Best and Brightest Companies to Work For award.
