Case Study: Lakewood Health System builds a connected, engaged culture with Bucketlist Rewards

Lakewood Health System boosts employee engagement 17% with Bucketlist Rewards

Lakewood Health System, a rural Minnesota healthcare provider, faced the challenge of maintaining its close-knit, family-like culture as it grew to nearly 1,000 employees across five campuses. Existing recognition efforts were fragmented and failed to connect teams, which was a growing concern amid industry-wide pressures like staffing shortages and burnout. To address this, they partnered with Bucketlist Rewards.

By implementing the Bucketlist Rewards digital recognition platform, Lakewood was able to democratize and amplify appreciation, tying it directly to its core values. The solution led to significant measurable improvements, including a 17% higher employee engagement rate, a 22% increase in satisfaction, and a 31% reduction in turnover intentions. Bucketlist Rewards became a cornerstone of Lakewood's culture and strategic growth, fostering a unified and recognized workforce.
