PatientPoint Inclusion & Diversity

What does PatientPoint do well to support, champion and empower women in the workplace? 

In 2022, PatientPoint’s DEI Council launched the Women’s Professional Network ERG to advance women in the company. Its mission focuses on career advancement, mutual support through mentoring and job shadowing, and creating development opportunities. Led by senior women leaders, the network prioritizes relevant programming, mentoring, access to role models and networking. Key achievements include launching an internal mentorship program and increasing the visibility of women leaders through speaking engagements and educational panels. 

In 2023, PatientPoint partnered with Gotara, a global career growth platform for STEM+ talent, in an effort to support women in STEM careers. Gotara provides scalable content, an expert community and an AI and machine learning platform to help women navigate career hurdles and advance. The first cohort had a 100 percent completion rate and top ratings for effectiveness. The second cohort has been launched, continuing PatientPoint’s commitment to investing in women’s careers.

How does PatientPoint take extra steps to support women’s health? 

At PatientPoint, we prioritize our teammates’ well-being, recognizing them as our most valuable asset. This commitment is reflected in our comprehensive and affordable benefits package, which was designed with guiding principles to support teammates and their families. Our offerings emphasize unique and differentiated support, particularly in mental health and wellness, alongside market-competitive benefits. 

Understanding the challenges faced by new parents, we provide 12 weeks of fully paid leave for birthing mothers and four-week paternity leave. This allows parents to focus on their new additions without financial stress. Additionally, our benefits package includes support for mental health, offering resources to ensure teammates have the necessary support for their well-being. By focusing on these areas, PatientPoint aims to create a supportive environment that promotes overall health and well-being for all teammates.

How does PatientPoint offer flexibility or support for employees who are caregivers at home?

PatientPoint recognizes the significant responsibilities that many teammates, especially women, shoulder in terms of household and childcare duties. To support this, we offer six weeks of time off per year for all employees, which is prorated based on the date of hire. Additionally, employees have the option to work from anywhere within the continental United States for up to four weeks each year with manager approval. These generous time-off policies highlight our commitment to self-care and the ability to care for loved ones in emergencies. 

In 2024, we launched our second ERG, WeCare, which is focused on caregiving in various forms. WeCare’s vision is to embed caring as a core value and operational principle within the company. Its mission is to empower employees to co-create a culture of care, providing educational and experiential resources related to caregiving for self and others. This initiative underscores PatientPoint’s dedication to fostering a supportive and flexible work environment that accommodates the diverse needs of its teammates.
