Our Culture: Uniting, Guiding and Driving Us to Succeed

Perhaps more than any other factor, organizational culture shapes employees' experiences in and opinions of their work environment. Our culture is one reason we think you'll find Beaufort Memorial a great place to answer your calling to care for others.

Our culture isn't some obscure notion that exists at the margins of our mission. For us, culture is a shared set of characteristics that sits at the forefront of our daily work, guiding how we treat patients and, most importantly, each other. In short, our culture, along with our core values, makes us who we are.

Our Culture's Defining Traits

What are the traits that make Beaufort Memorial's culture special? They include:

• Attention to safety and quality. Ultimately, everything we do revolves around the reason you likely embarked on a career in health care — to help people by delivering safe, high-quality care to every patient. Safety and quality are essential, and numerous national organizations have recognized our commitment to these traits.
• Communication. No one likes being left in the dark about decisions that affect them or feeling like their voice isn't heard. We promote transparency and open communication at all levels of our organization so our teammates feel informed and validated.
• Compassion. Whether at a patient's bedside or in interactions with teammates, we treat everyone with compassion and kindness.

• Connection. We want our employees to feel connected to where they work. We foster a sense of connection in various ways, from recognizing outstanding care and contributions to forming race teams and hosting social events.
• Inclusivity. Part of our strength and success comes from diversity, which is why we welcome and encourage employees to contribute their different perspectives in decisions made at the department and system levels.
• Innovation. One of our core values, along with safety and compassion, innovation helps us stay on top of our game. Medicine and health care are always changing. We pride ourselves in being agile, and leaning into these changes helps us deliver the best possible care and ensures we remain lifelong learners.

• Supportiveness. We support each other in ways big and small, from offering a few kind words to raise a fellow team member's spirits, donating paid days off to support a colleague in need, to helping employees achieve the career they envision for themselves through our PATH Program. We care about every aspect of our employees' wellness, which is why we offer a wide range of resources and benefits to help them nurture their physical, emotional, spiritual, financial, social and professional well-being. With support, we believe you can thrive at whatever you do.
