The People & Culture organization at Legacy is about prioritizing our people so that we can prioritize our patients. We are transforming a traditional human resources function into a team of professionals who develop creative solutions to attract, develop and retain diverse, high performing talent. Within the People & Culture team, we are building a spirit of curiosity, experimenting with innovative approaches and challenging past practices to ensure we aren’t just responding to today’s workforce challenges, but can predict them. This is a pivotal moment in the healthcare industry, and Legacy’s People & Culture team sees this as an opportunity to reimagine what it means to work in one of the world’s most complex yet rewarding industries. For us it’s about building a legacy where our people can do their best and be their best.
