November 29, 2010 – Jupiter, FL – Jupiter Medical Center (JMC) was one of only four healthcare organizations surveyed nationally to receive the Laureate Award for Workplace Enhancement from The Jackson Group. This is the second year JMC received the award.

Jupiter Medical Center received the award based on the facility’s work climate survey results that exemplified significant improvement over previous survey outcomes and signifies critical efforts to strengthen JMC as a "great place to work."

The Jackson Group, a survey services and consulting firm, along with the Medical Center’s leadership team and input from its team members, developed an action plan to change the culture of the organization. Work climate surveys were conducted over several years to measure improvements in the work climate and plan for further action in areas in need of continued focus.

"The team members who comprise the Medical Center are among our greatest assets. We make every effort to meet their needs to provide a safe and rewarding workplace," said John Couris, CEO of Jupiter Medical Center. "This award is a direct reflection of the hard work of our leadership team to instill a culture of shared governance and participatory leadership in our organization."

"The results of the 2010 employee survey were, once again, evidence of efforts made by the leadership of Jupiter Medical Center to invest in the human capital of their organization. To have achieved this award twice in a row shows that the organization was not content to rest on the improvements made in 2007; that constant efforts were made to keep both employees and leaders satisfied and engaged in their workplace in the following years." said Alan Jackson, President and CEO of The Jackson Group, Inc. "We are very proud to be associated with an organization that places such a strong emphasis on their employees and a positive work climate."
