Baystate Health reviews

Lack of honest and open communication from senior leadership leads to distrust by rank and file employees. Collusion with Mass Mutual and Health New England have eroded employees real compensation. Baystate owns HNE, requires employees to use Baystate facilities for Healthcare. No competition for employees health or retirement benefits (5mil from mass mutual for a new hospital, then all retirement options were dropped in favor of mass mutual. BH owns HNE, but employees pay much more than others with HNE). Expensive for the employee. Mask or Vax policy is not based on science, but instead, a barely legal bullying policy to force employees to reach 90% goal set by federal government to receive additional funding. This policy is not protecting anyone, otherwise all individuals entering the facility would be required to provide proof of vax or be required to wear that silly yellow mask, including visitors and patients.

I worked my way up the ranks in one of their community hospitals while employed for over 20 years. I was trained in their leadership programs. Out of the blue BH eliminated my job. They offered me a position that paid $20,000 less than what I was making. All the dollars they invested in me and they couldn't even assist me in finding a comparable paying position. They filled openings for comparable jobs 2 weeks before I was laid off. They should have held those jobs, if they knew they were going to eliminate my position. Senior Management is very disappointing. As they climb the ladder they forget about the little people. Much bureaucracy within those walls. The Senior Vice President and Vice President (whom I worked for over 10 years) did not reach out to me to say sorry and what can we do to assist you in getting a job. My current boss, of one and a half years, made no effort to assist. She was too busy brown nosing senior leadership. I would recommend someone new in their career to work for BH but don't stay too long, as they don't take care of their long-term, loyal employees.
