Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
My manager is honest and trustworthy
they really care and try to make things better - especially for the kids
Supportive, understanding, reachable, genuine, personable
There is nothing I like about the current leadership at Seattle Children’s. Fire Jeff Sperrin
Overall the leaderships are good, bottom-up approach
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Listen to the staff, spend time trying to understand and see what they see. Leave your ivory towers.
LISTENING to the front line staff and pay nurses a livable wage so they stop leaving for travel and more lucrative offers
Understanding we're people not machines
Talk to and listen to employees
Communication and the core values of the hospital.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
My hourly rate and benefits package.
Pay and benefits, the only reason to stay here.
What is good for me is not good for anyone else
Pay, medical insurance, paid time off, perks, services
Great for those with children. Overall great benefits
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
As a healthcare organization, truly care about the health of your workers.
SCH is continually anti union, staff members are injured on the job and this is under reported. Use of guilt as a tool for acute staffing despite millions in bonus pay to top leadership.
Compared to others compensation they dont pay well
Meet others pay scales from similar hospitals and cost of living
Better staffing ratios, higher pay, hazard pay for the pandemic

Coworkers in my own depart are amazing. Working with other departments leave a lot ot be desired.
Realistic expectations and not overwork people.
If we had much better management and CEO who is selfish. (Made us move closer to Childrens hosp for his meetings)
lose the PMI / PMP speak and learn how to live it.

I don't know. Healthcare is having a huge crisis everywhere. We need the resources to properly serve our patients and families.
Eliminate diversity quotas and care for all employees, not just the underserved. Hire based on skills and experience, not to check a box.
Provide the community with adequate resources and focus on absurd turn over rates in certain departments.
Listening to staff to meet the needs of them and the patients safety.
