HCA Healthcare – John Richards – 2016

Goals:

HCA hosted John Richards as an EDF Climate Corps fellow to investigate the relationship between sustainability and employee engagement and make recommendations.  Richards worked closely with HCA’s Sustainability Manager looking at solutions that could be considered for a healthcare system. 

Solutions:

Richards conducted research, interviewed key stakeholders within HCA, evaluated concepts with some HCA facilities, and reached a conclusion about sustainability and employee engagement.  Richards proposed four projects for HCA to pursue with regard to sustainability and employee engagement.

Potential Impact:

Richard’s projects have the potential for HCA and its facilities throughout 20 states to supplement information available for employees on sustainability and help with employee engagement, awareness, and involvement in sustainability.
