Business World | April 2015 146 Instigating a number of employee-based committees – from safety to wellness, Shared Hospital Services dynamic outlook for its organization does not solely rely on fiscal rewards to applaud and appreciate its core group. By pushing for more employee involvement in the decision making processes, Berge hopes to bring health to the forefront. “One issue we all face is health care and health care insurance costs. We’re no different than anybody else. Our desire is to provide all employees with a better understanding of their health benefits and how to better use benefits offered to produce a healthier work force,” he said. “At the end of the day people have to buy into wellness,” he continued. “It isn’t something you can make people do; you can’t be better unless you know what the problems are. We encourage all employees to take advantage of their free annual check-ups and assist them where and whenever needed. By affording employees the opportunity to receive proper treatment, Berge and Shared Hospital Services are dedicating themselves to the wise words of Mahatma Ghandi, who said: “it is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver”. But as the CEO, Berge acknowledges that small steps equate to small victories.
