Communicating, Management needs to be taught what is expected out of a manager in their position. There is too many people in positions that when faced with an issue they are unaware that they are in fact responsible for fixing it.
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
Better insurance at lower out of pocket cost!
Thou the leadership has a good working relationship but I have been under paid because of low income. We need to extend our areas of work to accumulate more income to be paid more
