together

This step in our journey into action has Maliaka English talking with Denise Taylor, a social worker with CCHMC. Denise talks about the fact that code switching makes her a little sad, the power of employee resources groups, and the power of communicating with earrings. You read that right. 

Our journey into action continues as Maliaka English speaks with Karen Behm, a Spiritual & Grief Provider in our Center for Spiritual & Grief Care. They talk about the different types of grief that can affect our teams. Additionally, we hear about the people at CCHMC who are here to help our patients, their families, and our staff deal with grief in their lives.

Going to the Gemba is part of Leader Standard Work. Leaders at CCHMC can and should go to where their teams are working, to see the work, understand the work, ask questions about the work, and learn from those who do the work.

Our clinical teams often huddle up before a shift to discuss the day's work. Our non-clinical teams can and should do the same thing. Maybe it's once at the beginning of the week, maybe it's in the middle of the week. Maybe it should be both.

Hamburgers and rocket ships to the stars. Another Tuesday night at my house? Well, yes, but it's also an oh-so-clever way to showcase the idea of Leader Standard Work.

This manager moment episode is chock full of moments with a great manager - Allison Brown. She started at CCHMC in an entry-level position in Access Services. Now she uses her life story and knowledge and unbeatable enthusiasm (Take that, COVID!)

Making an impact at work. Our expectation is that we will drive to improve outcomes, experience, and value for kids, families, teams, and the community. Sometimes those outcomes are big and sometimes it's the smallest experience that has the biggest impact.

Honesty in the workplace. That can be a tough one. For Cincinnati Children's, it is part of the expectations we have for ourselves. What if everyone in every organization led with integrity, courage, accountability, and high ethical standards?
