What’s your favorite thing to do online? Watch cat videos? Scroll through Facebook? Maybe some occasional retail therapy?

Going online can also help make your work life better and save you time. It can help your unit-based team solve problems so you can deliver the best care and service to our members and make Kaiser Permanente a great place to work. All that, after all, is what the Labor Management Partnership is all about.

This issue of Hank magazine is a whirlwind tour of the Labor Management Partnership website, a one-stop shop for everything you need to turbocharge your team’s performance. Tip sheets, videos and inspiration are always just a few clicks away. If you can’t find what you want easily, just use our vastly improved search function. As one of our biggest fans put it, “Boom — there it is!”

On LMPartnership.org, you will:

• learn from other teams — what worked, what didn’t, what sorts of roadblocks to expect and how to overcome them
• download icebreakers to build trust and help quieter team members gain the confidence to speak up
• meet the Humans of Partnership, a gallery of short, personal profiles that will make you proud to #BeKP

If you don’t sit at a computer as part of your day-to-day work, it’s easy to access LMPartnership.org on the go. Follow these instructions so we’re always at your fingertips on your smartphone. You’ll find yourself in a UBT meeting and calling up just the tool you need to help a team through a sticky situation.

You can even share resources from your phone with others who may not be as smartphone savvy. Pretty much every page has buttons that make it easy to email it to a colleague or share it on Facebook or Twitter.

Here’s another handy tip: even if you don’t visit LMPartnership.org (though I hope you do), reading this issue of Hank will help you learn how and why we do the vital work we do. So read on, log on and enjoy.

Take Action: Use Search

Can’t find what you’re looking for? From any page on the site, use the search function at the top right corner (look for the magnifying glass icon). 

The more keywords you include in your search, the more likely it is you’ll find what you need quickly. 

 

If your search returns a lot of results, you can use the filters on the left to narrow things down
