Chicago-based GE HealthCare has revealed its plans to consolidate operations at its Wauwatosa and Milwaukee facilities to its Waukesha campus. Over the course of the next three years, the company will gradually shift employees from two separate locations to its Waukesha campus as part of its ongoing modernization efforts.
The decision was announced by Peter Arduini, President and CEO of GE HealthCare, who emphasized the company’s investment in its Milwaukee-area team and its commitment to transforming the workplace experience. Arduini stated plans to revitalize the Waukesha Campus and turn it into a vibrant hub for GE HealthCare.
The company intends to update the Waukesha facility with modern workspaces, improved employee amenities, and collaborative technology. Additionally, a conference “hub” will be created to facilitate large meetings and enhance communication within the organization.
GE HealthCare will continue its lease at the Milwaukee County Research Park until December 21, 2026. However, during the transition period, a portion of the employees will continue to work at that location. It is estimated that approximately 1,000 GE HealthCare employees from both the Milwaukee County Research Park and the Tower Avenue facilities will be relocated to Waukesha in a series of waves.
This consolidation signals GE HealthCare’s commitment to transforming its work environment and fostering collaboration among its employees. By creating an energizing and dynamic workplace that reflects the company’s culture, GE HealthCare aims to fuel future innovation and enhance the overall employee experience.
