Mass General Brigham employees received a brief, cryptic email from CEO Anne Klibanski outlining urgent financial challenges and the need for improvements, but offering few details about what changes may follow. The message has stirred anxiety among staff less than two weeks after the health system said it had begun laying off workers.
In the email, sent late Monday to roughly 85,000 employees, Klibanski said Mass General Brigham is changing how it operates and uses its workforce. The message did not mention layoffs or explain what the changes would involve.
“We must improve our performance and make thoughtful decisions about how we use our resources,” Klibanski wrote. The email did not provide further specifics, leaving employees with questions about the health system’s plans.
