As the leader of Human Resources at Bethany, the favourite part of my role is getting to meet the People of Bethany. I have had the absolute pleasure of welcoming our new employees to Bethany Riverview early Monday mornings as they begin their week of orientation. We have been onboarding our Riverview employees in teams that will be working together on the different Riverview neighborhoods. This week, we are welcoming cohort seven of eight, and will soon have all 300 Bethany Riverview staff working at the care centre. I have also had the opportunity to meet our new Bethany employees who have been participating in the monthly orientation sessions held at Bethany Calgary.
I have been overwhelmed by the passion, energy, enthusiasm and smiling faces greeting me at each orientation, and I am so excited for the future of Bethany, knowing that these employees are joining the Bethany community of dedicated and amazing employees with a common purpose – to create caring communities by providing care and support to those we serve with excellence.
Did you know that the most powerful driver of employee engagement is purpose?
Purposeful employees perform better in their roles, stay longer, and have stronger relationships with their colleagues. I strongly believe that employees yearn for a higher sense of purpose. Together, when purpose is established and acted upon, great things can happen. I see this every day at Bethany in the work that we all do in demonstrating a higher purpose and living out our mission. Let’s continue to do great things together.
