Driving Engagement Through Employee Voice

Employee Voice is a cycle that develops trust, alignment, and collective accountability in driving organizational success

The Employee Voice Model

UCHealth revamped their Employee Voice process to improve engagement and build trust within the organization. This model, grounded in the values of Transparency, Immediacy, Accountability, and Alignment, can significantly transform organizational culture and re-cast engagement as a powerful lever for action.

Within just one quarter UCHealth saw engagement scores significantly improve throughout the organization. Rapid and consistent improvement continues as leaders and employees engage in authentic, transparent dialogue focused on creating a place where everyone can thrive.

“Ultimately if the goal is to provide top-notch care to patients, which is why everyone of my colleagues shows up to work, if the system is not supporting that, or if our culture is not supporting that, it’s a travesty.”
