Description

WVU Medicine is the largest health system and private employer in West Virginia. Over the past decade, it has grown from 6 hospitals to 25 and now employs more than 35,000 people. As the state’s leading provider of advanced care from cancer to neurology to pediatrics, WVU Medicine has had to rethink how it attracts, develops, and retains talent.

Leeann Kaminsky, Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer, has led that strategy since 2016. In this episode, she explains:

  • Why “the days of posting and praying” are over
  • How internal education programs move students directly into critical roles
  • Why simply raising your hand can set you apart in your career
  • How data and technology guide decision-making for a workforce of 35,000
