Investing in Our People

Since 2019, we’ve cultivated a frontline caregiver wage growth of 50% in our Community Living services. When we invest in our employees, we simultaneously support the communities they live and work in, making a significant impact on the lives of many.

Leadership
At ResCare Community Living, everyone has opportunities for leadership, regardless of title or position. As a leader, you should first establish the purpose of every activity you are involved in, so you can coach others effectively. As a leader, you must have high integrity and accountability – be sure to do what you say you are going to do. You will also need to balance your pride of accomplishment with real humility, which will help others to follow your lead.
Environment
It’s another essential ingredient for success. We want to maintain a people-focused environment, where all can collaborate on a trusted team. As a leader, you will need to police your environment so that trust can flourish. Always be transparent and reward good performance. Focus on people – to attract, develop and retain the best.
Get Going
Everyone on the team needs to know their business. We must think, plan, and take action to set and hit goals. We must work smart and efficiently, moving forward with purpose and the urgency to get it done.
Attitude
Always take a positive, can-do approach, as that is contagious, and will propel our culture forward. Always take control and take ownership of results. Expect excellence from yourself first and secondly from everyone around you.
Communication
Practice clear communication and coordinate effectively – so the team knows what is going on. Stay focused and stay organized to make meetings productive.
You
Be authentic. Be yourself. Your character shows in everything you do. Yet, always be learning, adapting, and looking for better ways of doing things – and by doing so, your team and our company will continuously improve.
