Lakeland Regional Health Honored With National Work-Life Balance Award

Lakeland, FL – Lakeland Regional Health is one of two winners of the Excellence in Work-Life Balance Award, presented annually by Constangy, Brooks, Smith & Prophete LLP.

“We are honored to accept the Excellence in Work-Life Balance Award on behalf of our team. At Lakeland Regional Health, we create an environment that encourages and teaches team members to reach that integral balance between their work and personal lives,” said Scott Dimmick, SPHR, SHRM-SCP, Lakeland Regional Health Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer. “We align our programs around the needs of the organization and our workforce, focusing on evidence-based management approaches in the areas of work-life balance. As a result, our employee satisfaction levels continue to increase and our turnover rate has dramatically decreased.”

Constangy, Brooks, Smith & Prophete, LLP is a national labor and employment law firm that recognizes organizations that actively initiate and create work environments conducive to work-life balance.

An independent judge selected Lakeland Regional Health as this year’s winner because of dedicated programs designed to help team members gain efficiencies, improve time management and obtain on-site conveniences. These include:

  • Paid jury duty
  • Flexible scheduling policy and options
  • Onsite workplace clinic
  • Onsite Publix Pharmacy
  • Onsite flu vaccines
  • Part-time and per diem employment options
  • Consecutive workday limits
  • Phased retirement program
  • Café payroll deductions
  • Leaves of absence
  • On-site ATMs
  • Proper sleep and fatigue reduction education

“In our own work with companies large and small, we see how important work-life balance is to an organization’s morale and ultimate success,” said Mike Malfitano, Managing Director of Constangy’s Tampa office. “It’s an integral part of our own firm culture, and we created this award to encourage others to promote work-life balance within their organizations.”

The judge for this year’s Work-Life Balance Award program was Tracy LaLonde, Founder of Xaphes LLC, which helps lawyers and other professionals to become business developers and public speakers. Constangy, Brooks, Smith & Prophete also recognized a small organization this year, Brown & Crouppen Law Firm in St. Louis, Missouri.

Lakeland Regional Health received a commemorative crystal trophy and a $1,000 donation on Lakeland Regional Health’s behalf to the Lakeland Regional Health Foundation.
