Our Values
Athene’s values reflect our high-performing culture and help inspire employees to take positive action. Created by a team of employees who took on the challenge with dedication and passion, our four overarching values: Make it happen, Act like owners, Engage actively, and Believe in your co-workers, show how we at Athene connect and excel in the workplace. The first letter of each value – “BEAM” – is a multi-faceted word created to keep our values top-of-mind. See the more detailed description of each of our values below.
B
Believe in your co-workers
Believe in your co-workers is an all-encompassing value about how employees treat each other day in and day out. As we go about our day-to-day work, we assume the best in people and trust good intentions. We share knowledge and encourage others to share in order for everyone to be successful. Together we seek to understand what worked well and what didn’t. Finally, we have fun and recognize accomplishments along the way.
E
Engage actively
We want to encourage Athene employees to actively engage with people on their teams and throughout the company, whether to better understand company priorities or a new project, tap into someone’s experience or clarify roles and responsibilities. Seeking to understand and sharing ideas not only help with the workload, these actions also help build a community feeling across the organization.
We are all ONE TEAM – Team Athene!
A
Act like owners
Being an owner is more about what employees do, not about position or title. Employees who act like owners are passionate and show excitement about the business, our stakeholders and our work. We have a clear perspective about how we provide value. We are accountable, reliable and honest and will do things outside our job description. We make the right economic choice everyday as we look to achieve long-term results. Owners take responsibility to actively shape the organization’s success and create sustainable solutions.
M
Make it happen
At Athene, we do not give up. Our culture is fast-paced and can be exciting, but also challenging. We find a way to get to the right solution. We work with urgency to find ways to meet the challenges we face. We look to improve, share ideas and are not afraid to try something new. We accept the value of failure, which we turn into positive learning.
