Emily

Emily Glenn started her career as physio, and joined APM in a corporate role three years ago. She’s now our General Manager for Workplace Health & Safety at APM group. Even as a young child, she wanted to work in healthcare. “I grew up in a little town called Kinglake. It’s a really beautiful town, surrounded by lots of national parks and a pretty idyllic place to grow up. When I was a kid, I really wanted to be an eye doctor. I wrote it on a little blue piece of paper. I think I was always really drawn to working in healthcare and being a physio is where I ended up.” What Emily has loved about being a physio is the places it can take you. “I’ve been really fortunate to progress in my career and take on leadership roles, which has been rewarding and enjoyable. You know, being able to support other health professionals to develop is something that I’ve really enjoyed as part of my role.” While supporting others is one of the most satisfying aspects of her role, Emily also receives the support she needs to continue growing professionally. “The learning and development opportunities that have been provided to me by APM have been really incredible and unexpectedly enjoyable as well. One of the real benefits of working for a global organisation like APM is the ability to learn from people all around the globe, and be able to translate that into the work we do every day.” She believes one of the things that differentiates APM is that clinicians are at all levels of leadership in the organisation, both supporting and inspiring her. “Working in an organisation that’s led by health professionals has also really illustrated to me that my skills as a health professional are valued by the organisation. You’re often asked or consulted about matters that are critical to the services we deliver. We’re really fortunate to be led by an organisation that has a health professional at its helm. Knowing that an OT degree can take you anywhere is such a phenomenal thing.” For Emily, it’s the culture that makes APM special. “The organisation is full of kind, compassionate, caring people who really are committed to the purpose of the organisation. As a leader, providing a flexible, family-friendly, fun workplace is critical. You know, we spend a lot of time at work. It’s important that you enjoy it while you’re here.” Ultimately, the support, mentoring and opportunities Emily can give to others to grow their careers is what she finds the most rewarding. “The thing that I love most is being able to support health professionals and empower them to make a difference in the lives of the clients that they support. One of the most rewarding parts of my job is seeing someone that I’ve employed as a new graduate come through and progress in their career. Seeing them take on a leadership role is a really special and incredible thing.”
