Post-Harvey Response
Hurricane Harvey dealt a harsh blow to the Houston area in late August. While
employees continued to serve patients, Harris Health System served employees
facing personal hardship. More than 600 people applied for assistance from Harris
Health’s Disaster Relief program. Collectively, those employees sustained $9.6
million in damage to their homes, vehicles and belongings. The Human Resources
(HR) department formed a task force to communicate with employees throughout
the storm and assist with recovery.
Immediately after Hurricane Harvey, the HR department shifted from normal duties
to disaster relief. We put together a key stakeholder task force to facilitate the
needs of our employees.
