Just as ColumbiaCare has a strong Treatment Philosophy, we also have some pretty clear HR philosophies… specifically, ideas about what professional qualities and values we look for in our staff. As you know, we have put together a list of core competencies for treatment staff that we really believe in. Perhaps more overarching for all staff, is another general core competency, and for lack of a better term, we will just call it “big picture” vision. Not only does that pertain to how you see your role and position and skills as a piece of the larger puzzle, and how you can positively affect and impact the organization and those we serve as a whole—but it also comes into play in the area of personal and professional development, and knowing how to positively leverage the benefits, tools, and support we offer to help you achieve your own career and personal dreams.
We will provide reminders of the many benefits, incentives, and support available to you to enjoy (and their practical applications which might help you move forward in an area of personal interest), and also provide some tips, stories and examples of big vision perspective including goal-setting in your career, personal finance, and health. None of these ideas are directives, nor are we asking you to set any particular goal. Those are yours alone. But we do want to offer ideas that might be helpful and you can choose to take advantage of. Most of all, we want you to know that you are valuable, and that investing in yourself and your future with ColumbiaCare is a perspective we think is worthwhile. So stay tuned for more!

"One day a traveller, walking along a lane, came across 3 stonecutters working in a quarry. Each was busy cutting a block of stone. Interested to find out what they were working on, he asked the first stonecutter what he was doing. “I am cutting a stone!” Still no wiser the traveller turned to the second stonecutter and asked him what he was doing. “I am cutting this block of stone to make sure that it’s square, and its dimensions are uniform, so that it will fit exactly in its place in a wall.” A bit closer to finding out what the stonecutters were working on but still unclear, the traveller turned to the third stonecutter. He seemed to be the happiest of the three and when asked what he was doing replied: “I am building a cathedral.”
