We’re glad you find joy in working for an organization where kids are at the heart of our mission. We truly value our employees, and we continue to conduct regular market reviews – and adjustments when warranted – to ensure our compensation is market competitive. We’re committed to providing new opportunities for our employees to grow their careers with us, including Career Launch, our diversity workforce development program that removes the financial barriers to education – including tuition, supplies and even child care and transportation expenses – allowing participants to qualify for higher-level roles that might otherwise be out of reach. If you’re unsure of what career path might be a good fit for you, please take a look at HR’s Career Development content on our intranet (myKidsnet) site, which provides tools to help you define your career goals, as well as options for career coaching. If you decide to pursue additional education, be sure to take advantage of our educational assistance program, which now offers a $5,250 annual benefit to all eligible employees.

We agree that working with – and for – kids is one of the things that makes working at Akron Children’s so special. Our employees are special too, and that’s why we make communicating with them a priority. We have a mix of both one-way and two-way communication channels, including: our staff intranet (myKidsnet), weekly Shortsheet e-newsletter, weekly online chats with our CEO (who also sends a biweekly email update on current topics to all staff), weekly COVID update email (with embedded video for key messages) and more. As a nurse, we encourage you to take advantage of other opportunities to obtain the information you’re seeking. These include our monthly Nursing News e-newsletter and update from our chief nursing officer, as well as our shared governance for bedside nurses, which provides opportunities for growth and mentorship in leadership roles and facilitates communication, collaboration and coordination of nursing and other health care functions. We also hope you’ll reach out to your manager and peers for the information you’re seeking.
