Employee Culture

Employee Culture and the Quest Way

Taken together, Purpose, Strategy, and Culture comprise The Quest Way, our fresh approach to how we work together to achieve our goals as a company. 

Our CULTURE, or how we work, is powered by the 5Cs:

Customer first

Every decision we make starts with a patient or customer in mind. The quality of our work is vital, because the answers we deliver are a matter of life.

Care

We are in the healthcare business, with care at the core of everything we do. We do the right thing with empathy, integrity, and respect to show each patient, customer, and colleague they matter.

Collaboration

Creating a healthier world is a monumental task. We work as a team, internally across departments and externally throughout the healthcare ecosystem and in the communities where we live and work.

Continuous improvement

Delivering superior quality requires intention and innovation. We commit to being better today than yesterday and even better tomorrow.

Curiosity

We are constant learners. To do our jobs, we must be relentlessly curious, because that is what it takes to move healthcare forward.

Our culture is focused on respect and belonging. In the workplace, this means having employees with a wide variety of perspectives and backgrounds, welcoming a large range of ideas, skills, and talents and fostering an environment of creativity and innovation. We achieve this by:

  • Increasing the visibility and accountability of senior leaders to model our values
  • Instilling a culture of trust, collaboration, and belonging at all levels
  • Encouraging broad Employee Business Network participation and strategic business integration

A highlight of our actions include:

The Quest Culture & Belonging Council will advise Quest and senior leaders as C&B goals and priorities are established, act as a visible C&B leader and represent the needs and perspectives of our employees across the company and our communities.

Quest is proud of our 11 Employee Business Networks (EBNs). Our EBNs are vital to driving The Quest Way and our Purpose:

Working together to create a healthier world, one life at a time

All EBNs are open to all employees. They create a platform to engage new colleagues and senior leaders, drive education and advocacy, access leadership development opportunities, drive community involvement, and influence business success.
