The American Hospital Association Exclusively Endorses RiseSmart's Outplacement Solution
The American Hospital Association (AHA) today announced it has exclusively endorsed RiseSmart’s Outplacement Solution. AHA Solutions, Inc., a subsidiary of the AHA, awards the AHA Endorsement to products and services that help member hospitals and health care organizations achieve operational excellence. RiseSmart’s solution, RiseSmart Transition, was selected for endorsement following a proprietary due diligence process that identified it as a leader in providing proven-effective methods and technologies that help health care organizations smoothly implement a cost-effective, results-oriented career transition program — and help their impacted employees conduct successful job searches.
In the health care field’s changing landscape, hospitals are serving the needs of their communities beyond the hospital walls by focusing on wellness and prevention to follow-up care. The workforce needed to support and drive this transformation is changing as well.
"Continued field transformation and integration may result in hiring additional staff, while in other instances it may mean reassigning staff," said Anthony J. Burke, senior vice president, American Hospital Association and president & CEO, AHA Solutions, Inc. “In either case, health care providers need to be efficient and compassionate. The RiseSmart solution helps ease the transition both for health care employers and their valued employees, as demonstrated through its successful results.”
Those results include helping impacted employees find jobs more than 64 percent faster than the national average.1
The RiseSmart Transition outplacement solution helps employers with their workforce strategy, and displaced employees with their career strategy, by providing virtual service delivery via a cloud-based technology platform; proven methodologies; and responsive, unlimited one-on-one support. Its innovative, efficient, cost-effective approach differentiates it from traditional, physical-office-based outplacement services.
"RiseSmart is very proud to receive this endorsement for our next-generation outplacement solution from the American Hospital Association, an organization so vital to the education of health care leaders," said Sanjay Sathe, president and CEO of RiseSmart. "We look forward to demonstrating how results-based transition services not only help displaced health care workers find their next, ideal jobs, but how they help organizations reduce expenses and burnish their employer brands."
1 U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (www.bls.gov) reported that for Q4 2013, the average duration of unemployment was an estimated 260 days. RiseSmart reported the average duration of unemployment for RiseSmart Transition program participants during the same period was fewer than 95 days.
