UMC named among the best places to work in Southern Nevada

University Medical Center (UMC) has been named to the 2007 list of the best places to work in the government category by the Southern Nevada Human Resources Association (SNHRA).

“We are proud to be named one of the best places to work in Southern Nevada,” said Kathy Silver, UMC interim chief executive officer. “UMC has implemented several initiatives to benefit our employees, including the creation of an employee retention strategy committee, hiring and retention bonuses, mentoring programs, diversity sensitivity training and others. We know that our best resource is our employees, and we want to do everything we can to ensure UMC remains a top place to work.”

According to the SHNRA, candidates were judged based on recruitment and retention, performance management, employee benefits, work-life balance, employee communications and morale, employee relations and inclusiveness and diversity.

Judges commended UMC for its various mentoring programs. UMC actively works with various colleges in placing healthcare students in internships. Internally, UMC encourages career-path mentoring for employees looking to expand their horizons into administration or alternate careers.
