WHY EMPLOYEES CHOOSE ATHENA

Employer of Choice

When it comes to our employees, we believe no one does it better than Athena. Not only do we continually strive to be the best in the care and services we provide to our patients and their families, we aim to be the employer of choice. Athena centers staff above the state and regional averages for skilled nursing centers and employ regional support teams to provide an additional level of assistance, when needed.

In addition to higher staffing levels at our centers, we also believe in treating our employees with the dignity and respect they deserve, going above and beyond what most employers provide when it comes to our exceptional and generous benefits, as well as competitive wages. Employees choose Athena centers because they share our common goal of providing the best care to our patients and they know our reputation. They stay with Athena because of the outstanding working environment, benefits, career advancement opportunities and much more.

Partners in Dedication - Athena Honors Employees

Each June, Athena Health Care Systems hosts our “Partners in Dedication” luncheon ceremony to honor employees throughout the Athena network who reached their 10, 20 and 30 years of service as of December. We typically recognize more than 100 employees each of the past 20 years this program has been in place. As well as enjoying a meal at a beautiful venue, employees are recognized for their dedication and commitment for providing quality care to residents and patients.

Athena and its managed centers pride themselves on the outstanding care provided to its residents and their families by our compassionate team of caregivers. Those caregivers are the backbone of our organization and we ensure for their well-being and satisfaction through several initiatives:

  • Competitive wages and benefits
  • Above average staffing levels
  • New employee recognition programs, based on employee input
  • Career advancement opportunities
  • Two-way employee communication / staff meetings
  • Pleasant working environments
  • And much more…

Growing From Within - Career Advancement Opportunities

Athena also offers various opportunities for career advancement to its staff as well as scholarship programs for those looking to advance their career within our organization. Through employee input, we are strengthening and expanding these opportunities to help employees grow, both professionally and personally. Many of our Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) have gone on to become Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Registered Nurses (RNs), as well as serve in other management roles in our centers. Throughout our network, it is commonplace that our managers were grown from within: Directors of Dining Services who began as a Dietary Aide, Housekeeping, and Environmental Managers who started their careers with us as assistants.

To learn more about career advancement opportunities, please contact the Athena Human Resources Department at (860) 751-3900 and ask for Michael Smith.

Compassion, Caring & Respect

Athena Health Care Systems hosts an annual Taking Care of Our Own Softball Tournament each August. This tournament raises money for eligible employees throughout the Athena network who need additional financial support while they are undergoing cancer treatments. Larry Santilli, President and CEO of Athena said, “the tournament represents the commitment and dedication Athena has to its employees. Through the generous fundraising efforts from employees, raffle gifts and other donations, we are able to provide funding for our employees stricken with cancer.”
