They always listen. They are always present. They are understanding and considerate

The best team easily approachable

I recall the regional manager making sure he shook everybodys hand and acknowleged everybody's name. He treated Kennel team with as much respect as the Doctors. As far as the managers ( ceos) above him I cant even remember their names or even know what they look like.

Review from Operations Dept

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Being leaders, managers, supervisors, being trustworthy, training.

Connection, team building, valuing staff and docs

Supporting their employees and listening to them when they have issues or ideas.

actually leading and being knowledgeable about what they are supposed to be managing

Understanding the importance of teamwork, safety, and accountability for others actions that could cause harm to the staff or patients.

Supporting the staff on the floor. Instead, we are viewed simply as numbers. It's all about numbers and stats and revenue. It is exhausting to be followed around or watched on cameras so the manager can appear from the great beyond to cut your hours.... Again.

Honesty. Integrity. Following their own rules.

Listening to employee concerns and issues

Taking accountability and sticking up for their employees.

Learning to manage their people.

putting real solutions to everyday problems instead of hiding in offices.

Concequences for actions and stop with favortisim. They need to listen and adress issues and concerns

Stop lying to protect themselves. Have a better understanding of what their role actually is. Actually care about the staff and support them. VCA garden state, NJ

Taking responsibility, stop lying to staff, stop threating staff with the loss of insurance so people work sick. Properly pay employees based off of experience and expertise. Not making employee take on additional roles without a pay increase.

Review from Customer Success Dept

Communication and actually knowing their limitations on what decisions they are actually allowed to make. They also don't take any responsibility when they are wrong and just blame it on the employee. Vca gardenstate, cherry hill NJ

Understanding their staff and not playing favorites to some people just because of their rank or title.

Review from Customer Support Dept

Communication and Empathy. Some are very nice and other’s not so muc

Scheduling, work/life balance, being nice.

a better manager that listen to the concerns of his employees

Actually leading, setting a good example, stepping in when difficult situations occur
