Chief Human Resources Officer
Aspirus, Inc
Wausau, WI - United States
Aspirus, Inc. (Aspirus) seeks a collaborative and team-oriented human resources leader to serve as its Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO).
Based in Wausau, Wisconsin, Aspirus is a $2B+ organization with more than 11,000 employees and serves communities through clinics and hospitals located in Wisconsin (13 hospitals) and Upper Michigan (4 hospitals). The corporate structure of Aspirus includes Aspirus Network, Inc., a Clinically Integrated Network; Aspirus Health Plan, a managed care health plan; and Aspirus Medical Group, a medical group that employs more than 1,000 physicians and advance practice providers.
Aspirus continues to grow and recently announced a Letter of Intent with St. Luke’s Duluth in northeastern Minnesota to expand healthcare across the region. The combined organization will operate a total of 19 hospitals and 130 outpatient locations, with nearly 14,000 team members, including 1,300 employed physicians and advanced practice clinicians. Following due diligence, regulatory reviews, and necessary approvals, Aspirus and St. Luke’s hope to complete the affiliation process in early 2024.
The CHRO will be an integral member of the senior leadership team and will oversee all HR functions, including Total Rewards, Talent Delivery, Human Resources Information System (HRIS), Organizational Learning and Development, DE & I and Employee Health/Wellness and HR Solutions. This leader is expected to serve as a trusted strategic advisor to the President/CEO and senior leadership.
The CHRO will build upon Aspirus’s strong foundation to accelerate and innovate recruitment strategies that will continue to support the system’s differentiated culture. As Aspirus continues to expand and integrate, the CHRO will serve a significant role in supporting and implementing a cultural tone set forth by the Chief Executive Officer.
This is an outstanding leadership opportunity for a progressive, action-oriented leader to join a financially sound health system that is committed to being a high-performing, community focused organization, as well as an attractive employer of choice for Northern Wisconsin, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and Minnesota.
Candidates will have significant experience in human resources leadership in a multi-organizational corporate environment. They should have proven experience in all functional areas of HR. The CHRO will be able to articulate success in developing and leading HR teams, providing HR support to leadership in a complex system and have strong business acumen. Experience in the healthcare industry could prove valuable but is not required. Diverse industry experience in complex, service-driven organizations would be compelling for consideration.
