Hanover and District Hospital (HDH) proudly announces the results of its latest Work-Life Pulse survey, confirming the hospital's status as an excellent place to work. Conducted among staff and physicians, the survey's findings reveal a widespread consensus that HDH is a highly regarded workplace.
 
The Work-Life Pulse survey, a renowned questionnaire developed by Accreditation Canada, serves as a reliable measure of work-life experiences for healthcare professionals. By providing valuable insights into organizational performance, it guides the implementation of quality and safety practices.

According to the survey results, an impressive 94% of staff and 86% of physicians surveyed rated HDH as excellent, very good, or good. These figures demonstrate a notable improvement from last year's already outstanding ratings, where 84% of staff and 86% of physicians considered HDH an excellent, very good, or good workplace.
 
HDH places a strong emphasis on cultivating a positive culture, aligning it with their strategic plan. In pursuit of this goal, the hospital has implemented a deliberate action plan focused on creating a healthy work environment that values its employees.
