There is nothing i could say
In order to relate to your employees, you must work at their level. Ftom RT, PT, Pharmacy, Nursing, EVS, Ward Clerks...Every role is important. Management has list site of the big picture! Healthcare is a collective effort.

They match you're retirement every year.
good health benefits and raises every year.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I do not feel undervalued. It would make me feel better if I make more to afford a house.
There should be compensation for cost of living increases.
Considering the nursing shortage, nurses at the bedside are in demand. They are the backbone of hospitals, nursing homes, rehab centers, etc. Without them, the hospital could not function. Nurses and doctors should be paid more.
On the low end for LPN, paid only a few dollars more than a Medical Assistant yet expectations are that of an RN who makes 10+ dollars more an hour.
Provide medical benefits when we retire.

dedicate to work and patients
Review from Operations Dept
Built a culture of trust where everyone supports each other and the goals of the organization
Review from Admin Dept
Happy collaboration on any topic good or bad love them
Great professionals who really care about patients and are too willing to sacrifice their own unpaid time.
They're communicative and know what's going on
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
learn to respect men at work
accountability goes without oversight and is not held
Improve communication and be more consistent, and present in the work environment. Too much hand-off and projects but no support or clear communication. Increase salary -- no one wants to be overworked but cant afford the essentials.
Build a trusting relationship and really value team goals instead of individual agendas.
Product training is lacking and responsibilities need to be distributed better
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
dedicated staff in chaos and uncertainity

I work with other mental health professionals who are encouraging and kind. Minimal competition.
Work life balance and boundaries
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Implement continuation of education about how to become a team member for each medical employee.

It takes about 3 months to get through the entire process before the hiring
conducted by phone first and conversational
Review from Admin Dept
I had Friendly interviewers thankfully
I liked how it was a light conversation and It wasn't super serious which helped my nerves
Team interview and lots of feedback.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
I have had great interviews at the company. They are selecting people who they have given the position to prior to the interview though. If it’s internal, it’s already given a
Communication in a timely manner
Having people who like their job do the interview
Review from Operations Dept
Need more transparency into the job postings; the job descriptions are nonsense and generic - you can't differentiate between positions because they use such similar titles and descriptions.
Posting the right profile for the job, having the right people on the panel, and not having a crazy reference check process like with the CPMG group
What makes you most happy at work?
The people - my colleagues - developing long term relationships based on common values
Review from Admin Dept
Management and coworkers, transparency, and family atmosphere
Interacting with people, driving places, and helping people
I have people that count on me
Interacting with my coworkers and overall excited to see them
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
in person/hybrid work model and no travel
Kaiser has a brand name that outside companies are very interested in partnering with. However, Kaiser's level of professionalism is very low standards.
Appreciate the frontline employees with proper wages and staffing levels. Kaiser would rather fight employees on wages and staffing while spending millions to prove a point instead of showing that we and our work are the backbone of the system.
They constantly overwork and underpay their staff. The executives received a 166% increase in 2017. Really, They won't give us 4%. Shame on them.
The greed of higher-ups is incredible. They get their increases and bonuses while our increases are below the cost of living. If they stop cutting staff and pay fair wages
