• Your feedback and questions since last week include:
  • A question was asked several weeks ago about which policy determines that departments cannot cover parking costs for employees. This information is in OHSU Policy 07-20-005, which states: Institutional accounts are not to be charged for parking furnished to Employees for personally owned automobiles. If there are additional questions about this policy, you can reach out to commute@ohsu.edu.
  • An ask was made to add home addresses to electronic paystubs as some vehicle insurance policies require their clients to provide paystubs with home addresses. This ask was shared with the Payroll team and more information will be shared in the next week in the Leader Essentials email digest.
  • One member asked if the “Introduction to Employee Benefits” course could be added to Compass, which was shared with the Human Resources teams that coordinate training and benefits, and we'll share more information in next week's Leader Essentials digest.
  • Another person provided feedback about potential bias in the examples used in the Workplace Violence training. For the Workplace Violence training, the key point in this example is to remember to label and report the violence, not the patient or person, so that it can be prevented. In the specific example named, a patient has come out of anesthesia with a violent reaction and injured one of their care team. There is no judgment upon the patient, but it is critical to document and report the injury so that work can be done to prevent that harm in future cases.
  • Feedback was provided that there needs to be more manager training around Paid Leave Oregon or PLO and how to properly administer it. This feedback was shared with the Benefits and Payroll teams. You can expect more information in the next two weeks in the Leader Essentials email digest.

About Leader Essentials

OHSU's leaders have important roles in communicating with and guiding their teams, colleagues and learners. News, updates and information are shared regularly in the Leader Essentials OHSU Now category. These messages will be specific to you as leaders, adding to your toolbox.

Clear feedback channels are core to our efforts too. Each week, we'll share a form for you to give feedback or ask questions - either your own or for your team. You are encouraged to fill out the form directly, after a team meeting or huddle based on what you hear. But, you can also share directly with your teams if that works better for you. Then, each week, your feedback and questions will be directly shared with the executive leadership team and depending on the topic, with subject matter experts.

You can filter manager-specific posts only on OHSU Now at any time by clicking “Leader Essentials” under Categories in the left column. To make sure you’re subscribed to the Leader Essentials category, click on ‘Manage Subscriptions’ at the bottom of the left column. You can learn more about subscribing to categories on the OHSU Now O2 page.
