Centene relies on employees to bring innovative thinking and new ideas to the table, which is why it's created a culture that's both diverse and inclusive. These new ideas are essential to changing the healthcare industry and transforming communities. The best part is that the team gets to change the industry throughout the entire country. By putting their skills, passion and vision to work, the team finds meaningful work at Centene that's built around helping others.
The team at Centene is dedicated to helping others. That's apparent in the work culture and community involvement. They're focused on providing healthcare programs that are designed to improve overall wellness for each person, rather than focusing on one area. In order to do this, the company lives and breathes these values:
Job seekers are always looking for better benefits, a bigger salary and a great culture. But consistently at the top of that list is career advancement opportunities. Centene seems to know that better than most companies. The company is continuously finding ways to help employees grow personally and professionally throughout their careers.
"Each role served as a stepping stone," said Kristen, Director of Business Engagement.
The company fosters a culture based on continuous learning. That's why the company added Centene University. Through the school, employees have the opportunity to develop their careers, take part in learning programs and self-direct their learning. The university allows employees to explore multiple avenues to develop and grow their careers. This also includes on-the-job development, online learning and experiential learning programs.
"I have opportunities to learn new skills, cross paths with other disciplines, and develop as a leader and as a team member. Our tuition reimbursement program allowed me to develop my career while also finishing my degree," said Ashley Collier, Director of Clinical Systems Operations.
Giving back is a big part of the culture at Centene. By partnering with the National Urban League, Centene helps empower communities and changes lives. The Urban League is able to change the health of communities. In addition, Centene partnered with the Urban League to open the Community Empowerment Center in 2017 during the league's annual conference. The center is home to the Save Our Sons workforce and jobs training program.
As part of the partnership with UnidosUS, Centene was able to bring the largest Hispanic annual conference to the U.S. for a tour. The company's whole health subsidiary, Envolve Health, exhibited the Path to Health and Wellness during the tour, allowing visitors to take part in a variety of health services and programs. The subsidiary even provided free vision and dental screenings for hundreds of people at the conference.
Additionally, Centene and Envolve Health partners with the Pro Football Hall of Fame on the Strong Youth Strong Communities initiative. Through this initiative, young people can identify how to address many issues they face every day. Centene invests in today's youth as a way to impact current and future communities. The youth that goes through this program learn life skills and are empowered by leadership to find their true potential.
The company also partners with Beyond Differences to support the No One Eats Alone initiative to address the growing problem among middle-school students. The program introduces students to role-play exercises to help them break down the barriers that are isolating them socially. Students are encouraged to eat lunch with other students that they don't normally sit with during lunchtime.
When you work at Centene you get to be apart of all of this. Not only do you get to help shape the healthcare industry in your everyday work, but you also get to help those in need especially the youth of today. "Centene is an exciting company to work for," said Esmeralda, Senior Vice President of Operation.
