Encompass Health Careers, Benefits, Review

Inclusion and diversity programs and initiatves 

At Encompass Health, we realize it isn't enough just to say we are diverse; we have to incorporate diversity, equity and inclusion into our culture and live it at every level. To do that, we have to engage in an open and inclusive dialogue so we can learn from and leverage each other's differences. As we do this, what we learn will not only create value for us as employees, but it also will stremgthen our relationships with our patients, our business partners, and the communities we serve throughout our nationwide network of rehabilitation facilities. 

 Our commitment is:

• To deliver excellent and culturally responsive healthcare to the diverse community of patients we serve across the country.
• To attract, develop and promote a uniquely talented workforce which fosters an open and inclusive work environment.
• To work with a broad mix of business partners and suppliers to better serve our patients and our communities, creating maximum value for our business.
• To partner with diverse organizations in our communities to advance common goals.

This integrated approach is built on accountability among leadership and employees at all levels of the Company to ensure inclusion and diversity is incorporated into our day-to-day business practices. This is promoted through a national inclusion and diversity council and local diversity committees of which employees in various roles can participate and contribute. In addition, we cultivate an open, inclusive and respectful work culture that encourages collaboration and fosters creativity, innovation and employee engagement. For more information on our strategic initiatives, we invite you to reivew our 2021 inclusion and diversity annual report.

In 2021 we hope to grow our inclusion and diversity presence within our national network through:

2. Continuing to grow local partnerships with HBCUs.
3. Expanding strategic focus to recruit and develop more diverse candidates for entry level and leadership roles.
4. Capitalizing on our existing accelerated and leadership development programs to identify and promote top diverse talent within the Company.
5. Continuing to operationalize inclusion and diversity in day-to-day business practices.

The goal of rehabilitation nursing is to assist individuals with a disability and/or chronic illness to attain and maintain maximum function. Empowering patient outcomes, rehabilitation nurses at Encompass Health see the patient as a whole, focusing on helping the patient and family participate in therapies they need to prepare for life after the hospital. While no two days are alike, our nurses are motivated by making a difference, and at Encompass Health hospitals, that difference is made during every shift. 

Our nurses are given the unique opportunity to build strong relationships and friendships with their patients, becoming invested in their recovery. Growth and development opportunities for our nurses are extensive. Some options include: continuing education courses, tuition reimbursement, discounted tuition rates for nursing degrees, mentorship programs, and upward mobility, among others! 

Come grow with us! Encompass Health is expanding! Our national footprint spans 42 states and Puerto Rico and continues to grow. With this new growth, we will be able to serve more communities, build more careers, and support more patients nationwide. 

Encompass Health has opened 5 hospitals in 2021 alone, with plans to open two more before the end of the year. Next year, 13 hospitals are slated to open. With the extreme amount of growth, there is a wealth of opportunity for clinical and non-clinical roles. 

What makes Encompass Health hospitals different?

Your contributions will be part of an interdisciplinary approach to rehabilitation, bringing together physicians, nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists, speech therapists, occupational therapists and case managers to deliver seamless care for each patient.

Encompass Health hospitals are the rehabilitation provider of choice for patients and families who need a higher level of care, and nothing is more important to us than helping our patients return to active lifestyles. Providing patients with unparalleled, personalized care requires that we hire the most passionate, talented caregivers we can find.
