Understanding the area they are managing instead of ignoring major issues to make to the budget look good.
I enjoy the job I do. I enjoy being self managed and trusted to complete my work without supervision watching over my shoulder.
A competitive salary based on my local market and job responsibilities instead of a blanket salary that values 5+ years experience in a skilled labor position the same as entry level non-skilled labor positions.
Increase wages enough to bring in experienced workers, or at least raise it enough to keep employees around. The turn-over rate is horrendous in my department because of low salaries and it is being ignored by management.
My coworkers, and myself included, need more training in our respective fields. Training which we have been requesting for years but keep being told it won't fit the budget. Even though the training courses cost $5,000 and we have a $30m+ site surplus every year.
