Not much interaction. Mostly figureheads whi occasionally come to the floor.
They listen and care about their team
Clear communication, supportive, creates an environment of open communication
Open to change, cares about tge team
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Celebrate, appreciate and pay your nurses. The ceo Dr Jones brings in 5 million
The leadership team does not understand their own policies and practices. It is like a headless chicken and changes focus on a daily basis.
Senior executives are unethical particularly Human Resources
In time of crisis. This covid pandemic. They value the money over their patients and staff
Try caring about your customers and staff. Success should not be measured by how you rip people off rather it should include how you care for your people
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Good PTO, good insurance, good pay, holiday pay
The base compensation is extremley competitive
Time off / 401k match
We get lots of PTO
The insurance and education compensation is great.

We got rocks, traces our hands. Received stickers, and garden seeds for nurses week. WHAT A JOKE! Work is to death and ZERO acknowledgment. I forgot that they gave us blank cards to write thank you notes to our computer workers. How about administration thanks us
Inova Fairfax does not pay a living wage for the region.
Abusive leadership behaviors and tactics
INOVA believes they are the only game in town and they treat their staff accordingly
With the current covid 19 pandemic they make us feel expandable and don’t compensa

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
The company meetings never have solutions and problems are never addressed
Department frequently hires staff with little/no relevant experience in our specialty area, and provides them with insufficient training. Management needs to address hiring & orientation processes so new hires are capable of meaningfully contributing to the team.

Good teamwork. Some flexibility based on department
My coworkers are very positive and caring.
The staff really pulls together
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Show that you Value the staff
Toxic culture coming from poor executives
Focus more on the care you deliver rather than the billions you are banking.
Employees need to be valued, communicated with, and involved in decision-making processes (especially for major changes). There need to be clear and transparent protocols for issues like vacation time, shift start time, and staff scheduling so that all treated fairly.
What did you like most about the interview process?
I went to a job fair back in 2019 and being offered job on spot was awesome.
Clinical cases and real world scenarios.
It is conversational and friendly
The questions were fair and the interviewers were professional
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Lie about role to get you in door

A job well done and the ability to positively impact someone's day.

My patients and my coworkers
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Unethical and biased senior leadership
Workload is too high for staff (both numbers of staff, skill mix, and experience). Suggestions from experienced staff for ways to improve processes or alter workflow to better manage the load are ignored or outright dismissed by management.
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
Accountability, transparency, and responsibility for damage done
Make a plan and stick with it. Have all departments pull their own weight.
