Aurora aspires to be an employer of choice for diverse talent to do their best for those we serve. All our strategic initiatives are predicated on having the best people, who deliver service and true hospitality in a manner that differentiates Aurora from our competitors and builds trusting partnerships with those we serve. We will identify and cultivate the core competencies our future state requires and allow our people to succeed. Toward that end, we will develop leaders who create an inclusive culture where our people are inspired to achieve their potential and deliver exemplary service. As part of our strategic plan, our goals are to be nationally known for leadership in many aspects of healthcare and to become a destination employer. How we get, there is through one “Game-Changing” priority … having the Best People!

So the question becomes, how do we evolve an industry that has been solely focused on technical expertise and patient satisfaction and transform into a learning organization which adds engagement, caregiver development, innovative learning solutions, best-in-class talent management, and leadership capability as a core competence. Our goal … an integrated approach to managing talent, our competitive advantage. This leads us to be the innovative employer of choice in the markets we serve.
