Submission highlights

This year’s strongest elements as indicated by our independent judges.

  • Culture & Purpose

  • Comment from the judges

    So many great communication methods and touchpoints like Athena Insider, with Ask Athena. Also like the commitment to caring for its people, as well of the greater community with Athena CARES. Covering health benefits for families, including parents and in-laws is novel, but takes the burden off team members who may have responsibility for elderly parents.

  • Comment from the judges

    Athena presents a compelling narrative of a purpose-driven organization that combines executive support with employee development.
