The importance given to well-being and an organizational climate of welcome, safety and empathy consecrated the Escola Bahiana de Medicina e Saúde Pública as the big winner of the Great Place to Work Award (GPTW), given to the best companies to work for, according to a survey of its own employees.

They represented Bahiana at the event Pollyanna Leal, Careers and Compensation Manager, Luan Gomes, Human Resources Analyst and Marília Silva, Academic Secretary of Undergraduate Courses.

Pollyanna Leal attributes the institution's success to a culture that is always dedicated to caring for people and placing them at the center of everything. "We encourage each person to be a protagonist in the collective construction of an increasingly better work environment. We maintain active listening channels, which strengthen engagement and mutual trust between teams and leaders. The institution trusts its people, and people trust the institution. It is this relationship of respect, reciprocity, and shared purpose that sustains yet another victory for the institution." Bahiana, "Because caring is in our DNA," she declares. Following the awards, she also highlights the adoption of flexible policies that value people's well-being and health. "When employees feel they can count on the institution where they work, the bond of trust is strengthened, directly impacting engagement and the quality of relationships," Pollyanna points out.

Among the initiatives, the manager highlights the family support policy, which includes extended leave (such as maternity, paternity, covering same-sex relationships, marriage, grandparenthood, among others), reduced working hours for mothers of children in their first year of life, and monthly allowances for medical appointments and school meetings for children up to five years of age. "We also have the program Bahiana da Família, which provides personalized and multidisciplinary support, focusing on primary care, prevention, and comprehensive care. The financial education program offers personalized consultations and guidance for those seeking loans, helping them develop solutions and prevent debt. All these actions reinforce our commitment to care, satisfaction, and strengthening the bond between people and the institution," concludes the manager, who also takes the opportunity to announce that, starting in July, Bahiana, for the first time in Bahia, will adopt a reduction in working hours, without a reduction in salary, adopting the 5x2 scale (40 hours per week).
