Employment benefits include highly competitive wages in all professions - including entry level positions, employer sponsored professional development, and a rewarding and enjoyable environment. Heywood Healthcare is seeking employees who value the ideals of compassion, respect, attitude, and excellence to include those who are newly entering the employment market and are willing to learn and to grow within the organization, in addition to seasoned professionals, clinicians, providers and volunteers. As an independent community health system, Heywood Healthcare includes Heywood Hospital and Athol Hospital and maintains a workforce of approximately 1,500 employees and 200 providers. Communication within our organization is a particular strength as evidenced during this pandemic, reflecting on feedback from employees as well as our community. Strong communication is a primary focus achieved through employee forums including our President's Advisory Council, daily leadership huddles, and several employee recognition and support initiatives. To enhance our communication and participation of our workforce, we partnered with the Cleveland Clinic to deploy the HEART program. Trained employees train their co-workers on ways to sustain positive interactions with patients and each other, resulting in improved retention and a renewed commitment to our employee-developed values of Compassion, Attitude, Respect, and Excellence as we strive to become the healthcare employer of choice, in our region. Our website contains several career opportunities both clinical and non-clinical, and a chance to work in an organization that values input, promotes teamwork, and supports upward mobility.
