Putting the IDEA into Practice
Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity—for All
What’s the Big IDEA?
At AbsoluteCare, we give the values of IDEA far more than lip service. They’re our service model for teammates and members alike.
When you join us in your healthcare role, you are encouraged to bring your authentic self to work. Here, we celebrate our differences, whether they’re social, physical, or cultural. These differences are how we promote greater understanding of the world we live in and the people we serve.
IDEA Statement
To ensure a diverse, inclusive, and equitable environment for our employees, members, and partners, AbsoluteCare embraces and celebrates the diversity of the communities we serve. We value every employee and partner for their individual contributions to our promise to improve every member’s quality of life through whole person health care.
Power to Our People
“Diversity, inclusion, and equity are the life force of an organization. Putting these values into practice must be intentional, thoughtful, and strategic; it cannot be an afterthought. Every day that our teammates improve the lives of our members is a day that AbsoluteCare has improved the lives of our teammates. We set the example of respect, inclusivity, and a sense of belonging so that it can be passed on to everyone we serve.”
– Vivian Bright, National Director of Diversity, Inclusion, and Professional Development
Taking Pride in Our Differences
We are allies of our LGBTQ+ team members, and we celebrate Pride Month year-round, advocating for equality in and out of the workplace. This is important for many of the communities we serve. We believe in care of the whole person for both our members and our teammates.
Building Diversity Councils
These champions of diversity solicit suggestions from their teammates for workplace improvements, recognition, equity, rewards programs, and more. They meet monthly to present these new ideas and select what will be sent to AbsoluteCare’s Culture Club for evaluation and implementation. With a strong team, we are able to provide equitable health care to our members.
Honoring Our Heritage
We honor the rich heritage of our teammates and members throughout the year with educational experiences and communications that highlight the contributions of these communities.
Come As You Are
We celebrate the many cultures of AbsoluteCare. Here are just some of the ways:
