Healthcare Company Reduces Contractor Migration Timeline by 75%

Situation

Streamline Onboarding of Newly Acquired and International Contract Talent

A managed healthcare company based in the Midwest was looking for a better way to streamline onboarding for independent workers. The healthcare company is involved in a large number of acquisitions, and they needed to get healthcare workers and doctors up and running quickly and without interruption as mergers complete. The company operates internationally as well. They were looking for a partner who could deliver a wide range of independent contractor talent across multiple brands, and internationally in Canada, the UK, India, and Brazil.

With a clear communication and transition plan, MBO was able to instill the company's goal of making healthcare more modern, progressive, and effective for society among new independent workers in each acquisition.

Solution

Seamlessly Integrated Incumbent Transition Programming

The company partnered with MBO to manage incumbent migrations of all types of independent contractors-from sales reps in California to nurse auditors nationwide and IT professionals in Brazil. MBO approached each acquisition as its own individual project. Depending on the size of the acquisition, MBO dedicated specific resources including an account director and project manager for implementation. When bringing on new business, it is important to integrate existing brand and culture into the acquired company. With this in mind, MBO helped drive the healthcare company's mission throughout these migrations. With a clear communication and transition plan, MBO was able to instill the company's goal of making healthcare more modern, progressive, and effective for society among new independent workers in each acquisition.

Results

Proactive Partnerships Yield Satisfied Talent

By working closely with MBO, the healthcare company has improved its integration timeline for new independent talent by as much as 75 percent, down from to a 4- to 6-week time frame from a 120 day or more average. MBO developed a streamlined migration plan and ensured strong leadership was in place, helping independent contractors quickly establish a connection to their new culture and environment. The healthcare company can now actively look for acquisitions with the knowledge that MBO is working in the background to seamlessly integrate a new company once it is acquired. With these measures in place, MBO has been able to reduce onboarding time, incorporate a legal compliance structure, and optimize the healthcare company's workforce for the future.
