Atria employees who refer an individual who joins our team receive a financial bonus. The incentive reflects Atria’s commitment to being a great place for employees to work and a great place for residents to live.
At Atria, it’s often said that coworkers become like family. In some special cases, the opposite is true.
The latter is the case for Patti and Lynn LePage of Holiday Orchid Terrace in St. Louis.
Patti joined the community in March 2022 and was immediately impressed by the welcoming atmosphere. When she learned the community was hiring, she encouraged her sister, Lynn, to join.
“I wasn’t even aware of the employee referral bonus when I recruited her aboard,” Patti says. “That was a nice surprise. We worked together before, so I knew it would be a good fit for her – for us.”
Both sisters began at Holiday as Kitchen Utility Workers, where their hard work and dedication helped them excel. Patti, however, soon found her niche as a Housekeeper, while Lynn’s culinary talent led to a promotion to Sous Chef.
Patti and Lynn have proven to be the ultimate team players. They step up however and whenever they’re needed, always with the goal of making residents happy and getting the job done. Their bond as sisters has only strengthened their teamwork at Holiday.
When asked what it’s like to work with a sibling, Lynn says, “It’s nice to know you always have that one person you can count on, especially at work.”
Patti adds with a smile, “Plus, our mom always knows where we are.”
