Learn how to speak to employees

Review from Operations Dept

Being open-minded and being willing to train and understand that everyone learns differently.

Certain leaders need to respect us employees on how they speak to us and as well to the detainees some leaders talk to them ugly disrespectful they belittle them some are inmates but there’s more detainees they need to also get respected every dorm I

Review from Operations Dept

Nothing I can think of.

Better leadership. Reviewing resumes and appointing people to positions that suit them vs giving people positions based off the color of their skin.

Not to lie about wheee the job is located and going to he moved to

Review from Operations Dept

Communication, stability, uniforms, you name it

Review from Operations Dept

As said before, I was led to believe I'd be working while getting my act 235.. once hired and trained they have "no place for me" kinda crazy to waste all the money to train me yet not put me to work

Review from Operations Dept

Managrment was better it would be better

Review from Design Dept

More staff at an admin level. A clearly defined hierarchy that takes some of the burden off the manager, who is currently responsible for approximately 90 employees. FLIGHT Supervisors need more responsibility

Review from Operations Dept

The managers need to be replaced, such as SCM and PM.

Review from Admin Dept

We need more competency and line level leadership. Really feel sort of lost most of the time and my Manager just doesn't have the time to train me in relation to how I learn.

Review from Operations Dept

Less 16 hour shifts. We should just be on a 12 hour rotation to help ease the overtime. People arent resting and its becoming danherous for our health and physical wellbeing

Review from Operations Dept

Creating flexibility of the contents provided to the clients. A lot of interventions are no used.

Review from Customer Support Dept

A knowledgeable and fair HSA who respect the value and voices of her employees

Review from Operations Dept

Add additional staff at managerial/admin staff level. Establish a formal onboarding program that isn't just watching power points for 4 day but actual helpful information such as specific policies and procedures, info on how to access all needed apps/systems, POCs, etc

Review from Operations Dept

Windows that can actually see outside. Some form of entertainment when there is legitimately no new tasks. Even the detainees get bored with the only activities being, Rec yard, reading and little amounts of TV.

Review from Operations Dept

Care about the employees. Get rid of the unqualified staff.
