NewCourtland Elder Services

Employee PRIDE

The NewCourtland Network has become known for its commitment to improving the quality of life for the residents living in the NewCourtland nursing homes through a partnership of caring with the staff. This partnership centers greatly on a shared vision of excellence for the residents, reinforced by NewCourtland’s commitment to improving the lives of the nursing home staff through employee-centered programs, including the Employee PRIDE Program.

In 1999 NewCourtland created the Employee PRIDE program − Provide Respect, Incentives, career Development, and Education. Out of the Employee PRIDE Program grew:

• the Ladder of Opportunity career and advancement program
• the YOUrHOME employer assisted homeownership program
• the Neighbor to Neighbor employee referral bonus program
• the Employee Assistance Program
• the 10K Club
