Friendliness, approachable, not contradicting and bring positivity to the table.
Work on the side of the employee
The leadership team should go away.

Fair pay in all departments - titles/rolls comparative, no matter which department or who specific leadership is. And salaries based on roles/titles, duties and not who you happen to report to or which department you are in.
For the work that we do , I feel the pay is less and not in par with the industry

Compassion, carring, kindness, positivity and respect. Training that is consistent across the board.
Better management all the way around
Clean house where is needed.

Less automation in the intervoew process.
