Helping new employees feel welcome and supported right away is a priority for PatientPop. One way we do this is through NEX (New Employee Experience), a three-day program for all new hires. Another way is through our Mentor program.
The PatientPop Mentor program pairs each new hire with a mentor from their department. The purpose of the program is to give new employees a go-to person to help them navigate their role and the company culture, while also giving exemplary employees the opportunity to hone their leadership skills.
Department leaders nominate mentors based on their job performance, leadership potential, and positive attitude. Many PatientPop mentors have been promoted to management roles, and many mentees strive for a mentor nomination so they may help shape new employees.
A few times per year, we award one mentor with the Mentor of the Quarter prize. This prize is especially meaningful because we select winners based on mentees’ feedback. This quarter, we’re proud to recognize Javier Miranda as the winner!
Javier has mentored six new hires since joining the program in Spring 2019. We caught up with him to ask about his experiences as a PatientPop mentor. Read on for more!
Javier Miranda is a member of F.C. PatientPop, a soccer club.
