UCSF Health Ranked as One of 2017 America’s Best Employers by Forbes

UCSF Health has ranked No. 52 on the 2017 Forbes list of America’s Best Employers.
 
The ranking, which is listed as UCSF Medical Center, was released Tuesday. It marks the second year in a row that UC San Francisco has made the list, which includes 500 companies across 25 industries.
 
To compile the rankings, Forbes works with the online statistics provider Statista to ask more than 30,000 U.S. workers questions about their workplace and employer. Forbes splits the list into midsize and large employers. The list for the large employers includes companies and institutions with more than 5,000 staff members.
 
Last year, UCSF ranked No. 64 on the best employer list. UCSF and UCSF Health directly employ more than 24,000 people, making it the second-largest employer in San Francisco and the fourth-largest in the Bay Area.

SilENCE

10/17/2016

As in, “The profound, consistent silence demonstrated by some of our brethren in Transplant is as inspirational as it is consistent.” 
 
n. the kind of unnoticed excellence that carries on around you every day, unremarkably—the hidden talents of friends and coworkers, the fleeting solos of subway buskers, the slapdash eloquence of anonymous users, the unseen portfolios of aspiring artists—which would be renowned as masterpieces if only they’d been appraised by the cartel of popular taste, who assume that brilliance is a rare and precious quality, accidentally overlooking buried jewels that may not be flawless but are still somehow perfect.

Article and photo from Valerie Plame Wilson, HuffPost, Why Women-Led Businesses Outperform Their Peers

Over the years, from serving in the CIA to sitting on non-profit boards, I have observed first-hand what the addition of even one woman to a meeting or to a decision-making body can do. Put simply, in very many instances, group dynamics improve markedly. Competition gives way to cooperation. A set of individuals, each vying for attention and dominance, becomes a genuinely collaborative team with shared objectives and mutual trust. And that trust powers the better performance of the group.

Why? Because, as has been well documented, women typically work differently than men in how they problem-solve and build relationships.

Listen up, employers: If you want to make your employees happy, you have to make them feel supported, according to Dr. Emma Seppälä, the author of the new book The Happiness Track.
In a conversation with HuffPost Live's Caroline Modarressy-Tehrani on Tuesday, Seppälä explained that company leaders need to care about employees "as human beings." She recommended they learn about employees' family situations and have a system in place to know when staff members are sick.
