Spark Health Partners, a leading innovator in revenue cycle management,
has been awarded the Top Workplaces 2020 honor by The Enquirer. Spark has
experienced exponential growth since its founding in 2014 and now has more
than 5,000 associates across the country. Spark believes that its people
are the most important part of the company’s success, and that when you take
care of your people, they pay it forward by continuing to deliver
exceptional results.
“Spark has always believed in putting people first, last and always,”
said Spark CEO AbdurRehman Sarwar. “Our mission is to redefine the possible in
healthcare by empowering people to be the difference. We focus on empowering
our associates’ voices and careers. We provide multiple channels and tools
to support associates in sharing and implementing their ideas on how to make
Spark a top place to work. We also offer a variety of programs for career
advancement to help our associates develop into the leaders we need to
support our growth. Providing the best environment for our people empowers
them to deliver exceptional results to healthcare providers across the
country.”
Spark partners with more than 30 clients and over 350 facilities across
the United States to improve financial outcomes and patient experiences.
Spark works with its partners to create a hands-on approach to help
health systems forge a healthier path forward to improve financial
performance, the billing process, and customer service, allowing providers
to focus on improving outcomes and reinvesting into patient care and the
patient experience.
“Giving purpose is tremendously important in our work. We remind our
associates daily that the work they do reaches far beyond our offices and
into hospitals across the country, making a positive impact on American
health care,” said Spark President Shannon White. “We find that teaching
our associates the ‘why’, investing in their personal growth, and showing
them the impact that they’re making in the communities we serve is
significantly valued in both our workforce quality as well as our client
results.”
As Spark continues to grow, the company is focused on fostering an environment where its associates are inspired and energized, and a space where they have opportunities to adapt and grow both professionally and personally. Spark moved into its new 400,000 square foot Blue Ash facility in February. The innovative new space includes a state-of-the-art training center, on-site childcare, a cafeteria, a fitness center and game room.
“Spark was built on the principle that ‘developing you makes us
better’. We invest in our associates and offer ongoing growth
opportunities to steer and shape their careers,” said Spark Chief
People Officer Allan Calonge. “Spark encourages – and expects– ideas
and innovations from our associates.”
Spark offers access to training and professional development courses
across the country. Spark wants its associates to live well and be
rewarded for their results, offering competitive compensation and
benefits such as flex and compressed schedules, work-from-home
opportunities, tuition reimbursement, paid-time-off and employer-paid
disability programs along with a quarterly incentive plan. Spark
believes that holistic well-being has the transformative power to
strengthen and balance the body, mind and spirit and offers multiple
programs to promote health and wellness. Additionally, Spark embraces
a work-hard, play-hard mentality and offers celebrations including free
birthday cake each month, summer celebrations, and the annual holiday
party. Spark’s associate-run SWAG (Serving with an Attitude of
Gratitude) Committee organizes additional events and giveaways and
identifies opportunities to give back to the community throughout the
year.
The Top Workplaces 2020 Award is based solely on employee feedback
gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee
engagement technology partner Energage, LLC. The anonymous survey
uniquely measures 15 drivers of engaged cultures that are critical to
the success of any organization: including alignment, execution, and
connection, just to name a few.
“In times of great change, it is more important than ever to maintain a
connection among employees,” said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. “When you
give your employees a voice, you come together to navigate challenges
and shape your path forward based on real-time insights into what works
best for your organization. The Top Workplaces program can be that
positive outcome your company can rally around in the coming months to
celebrate leadership and the importance of maintaining an
employee-focused culture, even during challenging times.”
Spark has been recognized as a Top 150 Places to Work in Healthcare
by Becker’s Magazine and a 2019 Top Workplace by the Cincinnati
Enquirer. In January, Spark was awarded the ‘Best in KLAS’
designation for full revenue cycle outsourcing. The organization was
also awarded the 2019 HFMA MAP Award for High Performance in Revenue
Cycle, placing Spark’s level of performance among just 20 hospitals
out of 6,210 in the country.
