Teammates

Celebrating Winners of the You've Been Spotted! Program

We all play a crucial role in embracing and championing the Advocate Health Purpose & Commitments, driving us toward a brighter, unified future. How we shape what that looks like, together, is where our You’ve Been Spotted! program comes in.

This program has quickly become a powerful catalyst for celebrating the everyday actions bringing our Purpose, Commitments and new Behaviors to life. Through printed and digital Spot Cards, leaders have recognized thousands of teammates across the enterprise for their outstanding contributions, creating a wave of positivity and unity. Recipients are entered into a prize drawing with the chance to win a variety of prizes. Below is a sample of stories showcasing how simple moments of recognition can inspire, connect and reinforce our shared Culture in meaningful ways.

By embodying our Commitments and demonstrating our Behaviors, you have a chance to be spotted by one of our leaders.
