These opportunities are available as scheduled in-person events or as just-in-time learning through unlimited access to LinkedIn Learning. Additionally, Inspire offers reimbursement (up to $10,000 per calendar year) for tuition and related expenses.

Developing our leaders is crucial for engagement and business success and we encourage employees to evolve in their roles. An established leadership development pathway supports the growth of our high performers from emerging leaders to effective managers, and further to strengthen coaching and performance management capabilities. Additionally, one-on-one coaching is available for our leaders through external partners.

On an annual basis, our leadership team participates in a talent review and succession planning exercise to identify organizational needs, development opportunities, and potential future leaders. This enables us to identify the resources and skill sets needed to meet our growth objectives.

Inclusion and Belonging

We strive to create a culture in which all employees feel heard, respected, and valued. All new employees participate in training focused on appropriate, respectful, and inclusive workplace behavior.

The goals of the training are to encourage broad and diverse viewpoints to achieve the best outcomes for our patients, customers, and employees, and to build awareness of how our own behaviors impact our colleagues.
