Leadership Development
We fully recognize that people are our most important asset. Our success depends entirely on the strength of our talented employees and leaders, which we build from within and manage through a disciplined process.
Our approach to developing leaders at Athletico is simple—we see every employee as having leadership potential, and we incorporate the best evidence-based training and strategies to help our leaders at every level grow.
Athletico’s Purpose and Values
Our purpose and values are the foundation on which we develop leaders. Our shared purpose—to help people enhance their health and quality of life—unifies us as we collaborate internally and sustains us as we engage externally. Taken together, our purpose and values are the foundation for our unique culture and leadership approach.
We Hire the Best
Through a strategic, quality-driven hiring experience that establishes first the alignment of the candidate with the company’s core values, followed by a “best fit” process, Athletico consistently attracts top talent from across the nation because of our reputation for clinical excellence. Subsequently, our future leaders are able to be prepared from the early stages of their career and developed throughout their professional life.
We Develop and Engage Our Team
We believe there’s no substitute for hands-on experience when it comes to leadership development. That’s why we create early, meaningful responsibilities for every employee. Typical assignments require collaboration inside and outside the organization, fostering strong project management skills and keeping our team connected to current healthcare trends and operations.
