Joseph Golbus, MD, NorthShore Medical Group, and Ronald Sipiora, Aon, are the 2009 recipients of HRMAC's Leader of the Year and Volunteer of the Year awards respectively.
...
"Our goal in honoring the outstanding contributions of Dr. Golbus is to celebrate his organization's success and help his CEO peers throughout the region realize the benefits of productive people policies.
Now in only our second year of the Award, the competition is getting more difficult as a greater number of leaders are actively involved in the 'human' piece of the business," she continued.
Dr. Golbus, a rheumatologist by training, became the first President of the NorthShore Medical Group in 1998, a position he continues to hold today.
Shortly after being appointed to that role, where he is leading over 600 medical staff, he began the journey to transform the culture and practices of the Group to create an environment that would earn the patients' loyalty.
In that process, he has embedded learning and development, culture change, incentive compensation, and innovative methodologies to the structure.
The outcome of that effort included reducing physician attrition to less than 5.2% and improving customer loyalty scores over the last five years.
He looks to HR as a business partner and has successfully linked behavior to the desired change.
Dr. Golbus has been recognized by Crain's and HealthLeaders Media with awards and commendations for outstanding success and teamwork; he was a panelist in HRMAC's 2005 Leadership Series.
Joseph Golbus is a leader who truly understands the HR levers that must be pulled in order to move the needle!
