What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Leadership Reviews

Staffing more, paying more competitive wages and better benefits ( health insurance)

realistic goals and ideas to actually improve rather than choke growth

Upper management needs to be aware of what location managers are doing and treating employees

dont be so picky and help out

Being honest and forthcoming and communication

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Compensation Reviews

An opportunity to actually take a few days off to attend CEs, overnight staff isn't allowed to take time off that isn't well planned. Day staff does not cover night staff frequently and it causes rifts. Yearly pay raises are ok. Our insurance changed and is more expensive and worse quality.

Our new health benefits are terrible: more expensive plans with equally more expensive co-pays with fewer things covered. Rate of pay is less compared to other clinics in the area. We used to be able to order food and snacks to help boost morale, but that has been taken away.

Getting stock options would certainly help employees feel a greater sense of ownership of the company and care about it more

Considering the high demand, daily occurrence of at least one accident to clean, as well as nearly never being staffed properly especially with the additional options we have, we should make at least $15 hourly. At a minimum enough that a full 40hr can pay bills.

If they gave me a chance to prove to them that it was a miscommunication, and that they would give me the chance to help the hospital in a way that it needs.

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

Team Reviews

We do the best we can. We need better managers.

My coworkers are great and we work well together. It's corporate that is the issue.

Communication, efficency, and recieving critisim/giving constructive feedback verses gossiping.

Open communication and conflict resolution. Staff needs to speak up when they are dissatisfied.

Better management would improve all employees

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Environment Reviews

Keeping an adequate inventory in stock, hiring quality people instead of just bodies, having appropriately staffed shifts, and bringing back the snacks!

People need to feel valued and cared for instead of just being a cog in the wheel.

Hire better leaders with training and personel skills

Easier and more accessible methods of reporting unprofessional behavior that doesn't back fire on the victim.

Review from Customer Support Dept

Adoption of certain standards across hospitals where policies and supports are in place to take care of the mental health of team members as well as boundaries for what is considered inappropriate client behavior and how to address them.

What would you improve about your company's interview process?
