HealthAxis Moves Corporate Headquarters to Iconic Rivergate Tower

HealthAxis, a leading provider of Core Administrative Processing Solutions and related software and services to healthcare payors, announced that their corporate office is relocating to the Rivergate Tower. The tower is located along the Tampa Bay Riverwalk at 400 N Ashley Drive, Suite 920, Tampa, Florida. This new space is a remarkable place that will be perfect to collaborate and entertain current and prospective customers.

“We were looking for a place that reflects the new future of HealthAxis and the Rivergate Tower did just that. It is the perfect environment for our employees to thrive,” said Matthew Hughes, CEO of HealthAxis.

HealthAxis is passionate about creating a culture that empowers their employees which is why they have a hybrid work model and work-from-home options available. This design offers employees more flexibility and freedom, giving them more control over how they work and where they work.

With 92% of HealthAxis’ employees desiring a fully-remote option, they decided to downsize from their current space, which boasted over 200 employees pre-Covid. After conducting a thorough search and review of several criteria, they knew that the Rivergate Tower would be the perfect place for their team.

Angela Benmassaoud, Chief People Officer and a member of the selection team, says, “Having a comfortable setting for my coworkers and I to visit when we want work together has helped us create a collaborative culture where we can bounce ideas off each other and build off on one another’s insights.”

The new office will be a ‘hoteling’ workspace with 30 desks, two standing desks in each section, and five offices. When one walks through the floor-to-ceiling glass doors, the main focal point is a large conference room. Additionally, a creative zone exists for meetings, team building, and planning. In the layout, one will also see a small cozy space to use for lunch breaks, small team gatherings, or just taking in the view during a break.

HealthAxis Leaders #EmbraceEquity On International Women’s Day And Beyond

International Women’s Day (IWD), celebrated annually on March 8th, is both a day to honor women’s social, economic, cultural, and political achievements worldwide and a day to rally for progress toward gender equality. Collective action and shared ownership for driving gender parity make IWD impactful. 

The 2023 IWD theme is #EmbraceEquity – a call to create a genuinely inclusive world. Through the process of equity, we can reach equality. 

 

Some members of the HealthAxis leadership team reflected on how they personally and professionally intend to make #EmbraceEquity a reality… 

 

I recognize that a change in behaviors and mindset is necessary to embrace equity. We must remove barriers and level the playing field to facilitate sharing diverse thoughts and experiences, ultimately contributing to stronger teams and better results. As a leader at HealthAxis, I’m committed to our pledge to embrace people of all genders, races, disabilities, and cultures, among many other notable differences that make someone unique and valued. The health of our company depends on embracing cultural diversity, and we are committed to creating an inclusive environment, acknowledging, and honoring the fundamental value and dignity of all individuals.

Diversity in the workforce is paramount to ensuring we have our company’s brightest minds and strongest talent. I’ve worked with great women leaders, subject matter experts, and innovators throughout my career. These women have driven the success of their teams and companies and, more importantly, delivered improved patient care and outcomes. I greatly appreciate the opportunities to learn from these women in my past roles and am thrilled to be part of such a diverse team at HealthAxis, where I continue to learn from our strong women leaders.

I have had the honor of working for, working with and leading strong, intelligent women for over 20 years in technology and services. These experiences have made me a better leader and a leader who seeks out and supports the development of women in technology, where there is a great need today. At HealthAxis, we are blessed with female leaders whose voice will be heard and will be a driving force for our future.

Greg von der LippeGreg von der Lippe
Chief Growth Officer

 

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside some of the most extraordinary women leaders in healthcare. I’ve learned that it’s important to maintain an open mind and an open heart for others, and in doing that, one will naturally advocate for workplace equity. At HealthAxis, we don’t have to agree with a colleague to learn from them and what’s important at their core. In our culture, we expect others to be interested in what has shaped individuals’ views, value systems, and identity; that alone will present opportunities for awareness, education, and the advancement of an equitable culture. At HealthAxis, WE do expect that WE will treat others with civility and respect, and that leads to the discovery of equitable leadership in surprising ways.

Over my 20-year career working primarily in software, I have had the honor and privilege of working alongside and for some amazing women. These women have had a hand in shaping my leadership style and approach to business and helping me become a more well-rounded individual. Without these leaders’ influence, guidance, knowledge, and mentorship, I would not be in the position I am in today. I am thankful and appreciative that I have had the opportunity to watch, learn and ultimately excel under their leadership.
