May 16, 2024 — YoloCares has been selected by Modern Healthcare as one of the 2024 Best Places to Work in Healthcare.
This award program identifies and recognizes outstanding employers in the healthcare industry nationwide. Modern Healthcare partners with Workforce Research Group on the assessment process, which includes an extensive employee survey.
The complete list of this year’s 150 winners, in alphabetical order, is available at ModernHealthcare.com/bestplaceslist. Modern Healthcare will publish a special supplement featuring a ranked list of all the winners along with the October 14, 2024, issue of MH magazine.
“With all the economic uncertainty, staffing challenges, and folks wanting more flexible work setups, every company has to get clever about how they attract and hold onto talent,” noted Dan Peres, President of Modern Healthcare. “The winners of the 2024 Best Places to Work awards really get it. They show us how vital it is to understand what employees want and need right now. With healthcare shifting so much, finding the right people is a top priority, and the winners know that keeping their team happy is the key to business success.”
YoloCares, a nonprofit, community-based end-of-life care organization based in Davis, California, is not new to Modern Healthcare’s Best Places to Work List. Named in the top 150 employers in 2019 and ranked number 38 in 2021, the agency prides itself on an employee-centric culture that offers ample opportunity for growth and recognition. To remain an attractive workplace for employees, YoloCares offers robust benefits including generous PTO, company cars, a gym membership, and 90% paid health insurance. Employees can expect high engagement from leadership, ample opportunities for training and education, mobility within the company and a friendly and engaging atmosphere.
Remaining a competitive employer is key to thriving within the healthcare industry where shortages in nearly all clinical disciplines are common and projected to worsen in the coming years. While the national average employee turnover rates for nurses, home health aides, and licensed vocational nurses all hover around 24 percent, YoloCares employee turnover rate in 2023 was 3.7 percent.
“Our mission is to provide the highest quality of care possible and to do that, we need to have the best team of clinicians and administrative professionals around,” says Craig Dresang, CEO. “We frequently engage our staff in feedback sessions and surveys to pinpoint their needs. We then use their responses to create an environment where they can feel respected, engaged, and rewarded for their work.”
