Everyone is talking about the rising price of fuel these days, and you can't blame them.
You can't turn on the TV or pick up the paper without being inundated with details about rising energy costs. Fuel prices affect nearly every aspect of business and society. Bon Secours Virginia is no exception.
It is helpful to know and share ways in which we can control how we use and conserve energy.
Realizing that our employees face challenges with the current fuel situation, we're taking action. That's where this online resource - "Good Cents: Save on Fuel" - comes into play. We developed this informative site with timely information and practical insights into how to save on fuel - whether it involves finding the least expensive gas or a carpooling option.
This online resource also is an extension of our ongoing commitment to being good stewards of our environment.
We're committed to helping employees find the right work arrangements
Bon Secours Virginia has long encouraged flexible work arrangements, like telecommuting, when possible, and we continue to explore compressed work schedules to help our employees bring down their commuting costs.
We realize that each employee and department have unique circumstances when it comes to flexible work arrangements. In fact, some decisions are easier to make, like deciding to hold fewer face-to-face meetings, when a quick conference call could suffice. Other decisions are a little more involved like helping to reposition employees to Bon Secours facilities closer to their homes.
Either way, our leadership team is committed to supporting our valued employees during the ongoing fuel crunch while together making environmentally friendly decisions.
We'll continue to explore solutions like these as well as new ones to take care of our employees in our ongoing quest to be the healthcare employer of choice in Central Virginia.
Sincerely,
Peter J. Bernard
Senior Vice President, Bon Secours Health System, Inc.
Chief Executive Officer, Bon Secours Virginia
