In overseeing IT support, KP's business leadership relies heavily on consultants and standardized professional practices (project management, process improvement) to ensure IT services are managed in accordance with industry standards. Many IT staff find it less fulfilling than working at more directly managed technical organizations. And yet, the KP mission and organizational value of community service; the humanistic leadership tone; and the unique features of the benefits package such as a retirement pension; these make Kaiser an employer of choice for many."
