Supporting Your Workforce through Transformation with Values Based Leadership Workforce Planning Initiatives

The new $630m Bendigo Hospital delivers a world-class regional hospital incorporating the latest design and technology solutions, in a tranquil and caring environment. Completed in mid-2018, the Bendigo Hospital Project was the largest regional hospital development in Victoria, and required moving hundreds of patients, staff and pieces of equipment to an entirely new, technologically advanced site.

To help support the transition from the old facility to the new building, which brought along with it new technology, processes and ways of working, Bendigo Health developed and leveraged a number of strategies to ready their workforce for the transition, including harnessing Leadership Based workforce planning.

Ahead of the Workforce Planning for Healthcare Summit 2019 we chat to Robyn Lindsay, Executive Director of Clinical Operations at Bendigo Health. In this article Robyn chats to us about the change management initiatives that made the Bendigo Hospital transition project a success, and shares her workforce planning and engagement top tips.
