Training Top 100 award recognizes DaVita's commitment to learning
and performance improvement. The awards are given to companies who
foster their people's learning, development, and relationships
within the company. They encourage the pooling and sharing of
knowledge, not only for the betterment of the company, but for the
betterment of the individual. "One of the keys to DaVita's success
is our unique training and education curriculum for all teammates,"
explains DaVita CEO Kent Thiry. Continuing education programs are
taught by "DaVita University" and focus on raising performance
levels, enhancing caregiving skills, and advancing careers. The
results of the training are dramatic, reducing employee attrition
to 12% among attendees vs. 23% among nonattendees. Key DaVita
University classes include: -- DaVita Academy -- DaVita corporate
and clinical teammates work together in this two-day workshop that
teaches leadership, teamwork and professional competency. --
Administrator University -- In comparison to the three-day learning
modules of other providers, DaVita features a six-day program to
enrich the business management skills of facility administrators.
-- DaVita Way of Teams -- Offered at either a regional or unit
level, this program teaches teambuilding with a special emphasis on
building shared accountability for both clinical and operational
outcomes. DaVita is the largest independent provider of dialysis
services in the United States, with more than 650 affiliated
dialysis facilities and more than 53,000 patients. DaVita has
received the 2005 "Leadership in Innovation" Award by the Adaptive
