Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
They listen to the team members.
My direct leadership are all supportive and encouraging
Leadership listens to concerns and is fair.
Approachable and caring, impact-minded. Thank you
They always check in with the nurses and PCTs to make sure we are ok
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Communication and working as a team
Review from Admin Dept
Leasing and respecting there Employee better we had 3 FA's (Facilitie Administrator's) in one year and each one Worse than the last. They are getting these people from retail like target Walmart. In other places that is not healthcare. They come in not knowing how the clinic works and no respect.
Hiring and keeping nurses and PCT's would be a good start at improvement!
Everything since everyome staus quitting
Transparency and reality of how teammates are worked
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Good salary, decent 401k match, emergency childcare assistance
I get a paycheck every two weeks
Amazing benfots to work with
Stock purchase options is the best part
I like the opportunity to to have incentives and bonuses on top of my base salary.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Stop comparing different clinics. Stop the micromanagement of weekly meetings for every clinc and every modality. Start working the different roles you manage at least each role for a week to see the ridiculous expectations. Forcing fun when it is the hardest job in my career.
What you're told during the recruitment process and training period is not what transpires afterwards.
As mentioned prior staff is lower class than management. No medical knowledge or people skills.
They worked me to the point of mental breakdown and only paid me 17.50 when i have a bachelors of science
Pcts work extraordinarily hard and we care about our patients, we work very very hard and very long hours and get junk pay
What are some of the best things about your team?
Show every day with good aritude
We appreciate each other, and make sure we help each other out whenever possible. If it were not for the co workers i currently have, I would leave for better oppurtunities.
Cohesive. Communicative. Small. Close knit.
My facilities Teamwork is excellent
My last team (I am airlift) was very supportive and connected even outside of work. I also enjoyed how they cared for one another and if one had an issue no matter how small they stepped in and covered their shift.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Teamwork, being supportive and be positive
Everyone should feel they are part of the village. That their work is meaningful, find the good they do instead of calling out all their negatives
Help one another and dont let each othee fail at something
Review from Admin Dept
Proper work communication and etiquette
If they eliminated the troubled nurses and actually paid attention to patient complaints
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The boss give us good aritude
It is not our company's culture... it is the group of core co workers that get us through the days.
They buy food for the staff sometimes
Leaders really uphold the values of the company
We as teammates work together and support each other
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
More balance between prioritizing patient outcomes and staff quality of life compared to profit above all else. Slower initiative rollouts to allow staff to master one change before jumping into the next, causing chaos and rushed, inconsistent/incomplete efforts.
Not letting problems fester and follow up on issues reported
Stop being about the money
Not treat patients like an assembly line and create a schedule where there’s more than 15 min between patients.
Hiring more experienced clinical staff instead of people with very little to no clinical experience, because they can pay them less. They will squeeze every penny out of you if they can.
What did you like most about the interview process?
Realistic job preview gives inexperienced candidates a decent idea of what the basic job looks like and a chance to pick current staffs brains before making any decisions.
It was conversational but still asked behavioral questions
5 total interviews. You know they are really considering who they hire which is important.
Davita is very thorough and selective
The people that interviewed me were supportive
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Too much lag time between application, recruiter, and manager.
Leas interviews, more organization with interviewing
The communication between the recruiting officer and Facility Administrator was poor. One gave me a time and the other gave me a completely different time. I sat in the lobby for an hour before I was interviewed.
Being upfront about the expectations, and pay
Better pay to all staff
Review from Customer Success Dept
What makes you most happy at work?
My co workers and patients
I love helping people. I love hearing the success stories
The patients snd the service I provide them
At Davita there is teamwork like no other place I have worked.
Occasionally, I get to have a positive impact on someone's life and health.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Patients and staff are just data points on the journey to meet business metrics and not viewed as humans with individual needs, and both patients and TM know they will be replaced as soon as the company decides they are better off without them. Go back to treating everyone as people of value.
New computer system has too many glitches that have potential adverse effects on pt outcomes
They are to Top heavy and don't have no respect for employees on the bottom you get respect based on what your job distribution is and if you are a PCT or Nurse then you get almost 0
I have given enough suggestions.
No follow up our actions done to those who create problems due to shortage of workers and nurses
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
Corporate leadership needs to understand the overwhelming nature of the direct patient care work load.
