Once workforce health is embraced as a core value it influences decisions ranging from cafeteria food selections to benefit offerings.

What is the Labor Management Partnership
• The Labor Management Partnership is Kaiser Permanente and the Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Union's strategy for high performance. We use the Value Compass, which puts the member at the center of every decision, to guide efforts to improve service, the quality of care and eliminate waste that drives up costs. These achievements are created by unit-based teams that include frontline managers, workers and physicians working together to ensure each patient has the best possible experience. This team environment also makes KP a great place to work.
• How does it work?• Partnership brings frontline managers, workers and physicians together to
make full use of each individual's expertise. These different perspectives help to bring about solutions that address systemic issues. Frontline employees, who do the job every day, are able to offer innovative solutions to the problems at hand. Stewards and union team co-leads are evolving into work-unit leaders. Managers are moving away from directing work and into coaching and mentoring roles. Physicians are supported by all staff in providing high-quality, compassionate, patient-centered care. For members and patients, the entire care experience improves.
• Unit-based teams• As of 2010, all employees represented by a Coalition union are working with
managers and physicians in unit-based teams. A unit-based team, which includes all the members of a natural work group, focuses on improving performance in that area by finding efficiencies and better ways of doing day-to-day work. UBTs support regional business priorities.
12
Unit Based Teams• Unit-based teams, negotiated as part of the 2005 National Agreement,
are the platform for performance improvement across Kaiser Permanente. A team includes all the participants in a natural work unit or department, including supervisors, union stewards and staff members, physicians, dentists and managers. The team supports the regional business strategy and goals for performance, service quality, efficiency and growth. Because teams increase consistency and standardization of treatment, they improve care.
