Case Study: Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) achieves 35% increase in employee participation and value-aligned recognition with Engagedly

How One Healthcare Organization Boosted Performance With Purpose

HIMSS, a U.S. not‑for‑profit healthcare organization with over 400 employees, launched a “ONE HIMSS” vision to better align corporate values with its global strategy. Leadership identified that siloed business units and traditional performance processes were hindering development, recognition, and goal alignment, so they sought a talent management approach to unify recruitment, feedback, performance and engagement.

Working with Engagedly, HIMSS implemented a four‑phase talent strategy—launching values, creating a feedback culture, building a Performance Development Program, and aligning goals to values—using real‑time feedback, recognition badges, ongoing check‑ins and a semiannual engagement survey. Within a year the initiative drove a 35% increase in employee participation, 91% of employees received points for value‑aligned achievements, and the organization sustained engagement while pivoting priorities and adapting to remote work.
