Jupiter Medical Center’s (JMC) leadership team has received a national award for its workplace improvement program by The Jackson Group, Inc. JMC was one of two healthcare organizations out of a total of 224 they surveyed nationally this year to win the prestigious Laureate Award for Workplace Enhancement.

This award is based on employee surveys conducted in 2003, 2005, and 2007 to measure improvements in the work climate and results of action plans in areas identified for upgrading. The 2007 results showed strong improvements in all twelve measured categories as compared to 2005. The top three categories of improvement were organizational leadership, identification with goals and mission and attention to employee needs. Over 1,000 of JMC’s employees completed the 2007 survey.
