What do you like best about the leadership team?
The don't just speak about transparency... they actively practice it
in 2020 they were all willing to take a pay cut instead of making the lower employees do the same or worse, lay them off.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Actually caring about the people that work under them. Treating them like people instead of machines.
Listening to people instead of ignoring them.
They musy treat employeers better.
Addressing the needs of the employees. Creating a better work/life balance. Creating a compensation/advancement plan that actually rewards employees rather than keeping the status quo. Overall visibility by all levels of management. Supplying employees with what they need to do their jobs well.
commission, respect for teamwork, a
They don't take any action whatsoever. We are beaten down by surgeons on a daily (hourly) basis. They don't advocate at all but they do "look into" things. I once asked what that meant, if they could give me one concrete idea that was being explored. Nothing. Blank stares all around the table.
Fighting for their employees’ rights and welfare when the executives of my company take advantage of the grunts that are at the heart of this company.
Stop being greedy, all executive pay should be capped at 300k. Through the pendemic, they gave staff the option to buy a t shirt as a "thank you" for our work. Thats hows much they "care" about staff. Force us to furlough a whole paycheck and give us the option to buy a damn shirt worth $5 for $40.
LIstening to staff concerns and not setting forth their own agenda
Transparency and advocating for patients...many decisions are made based solely on the "bottom line"
Hire people that actually care, and are not just in it for the money. These are people's lives we're dealing with here.
Respect, leadership, stand by their employees, and stand up for their employees
Review from Operations Dept
Understand what is happening at the front lines. Honor and support employees. Stop the hiring freeze. Prioritize ruthlessly- too many initiatives pushed on us at once, and we are just trying to take good care of patients.
Review from Admin Dept
Transparency of system future plans. Understanding importance of direct care staff
Review from Operations Dept
Get better communication between parties.
leadership needs to lead and not keep cutting staff
