We’d like to be direct in that we do not have employees write fake reviews or incentivize employees to leave reviews in any way. Although your experience with ABC may not have been positive, we have hundreds of happy employees, many of whom have been with the company since it started.
The kids and employees are our top priority. It is a difficult time for the entire world as we are currently facing COVID-19 together. ABC has done everything in our power to ensure we are making the right decisions for our employees and for our clients. We have the obligation to provide essential healthcare services to our kiddos, as well as paychecks to our people. We are navigating the everyday changes and updates from CDC, WHO, and NGOs to inform our own decision making and policies - we’ve asked staff to be flexible with these changes. We value our people and respect everybody’s choice to continue actively working or to take time to shelter at home during this time. We’re still covering the cost of health benefits for those staff who are temporarily furloughed. Additionally, we’ve given all active therapists a temporary $2/hour pay increase and have guaranteed hours even if a client is absent, which is unlike any other ABA provider. Most businesses and industries are being faced with difficult decisions during the COVID-19 crisis, and we feel we’ve made the right decisions for ABC and have provided the very best we can for our people. The fact that we have the highest retention rate of any ABA provider in the industry speaks for itself.
Additionally, we have systems in place that ensure employee jobs could not just be gone at any moment. If there are any issues with performance, we have evaluations and Support Plans with clear goals for improvement. We have very high standards for staff performance at ABC. The work we do for kids on the autism spectrum is extremely important, and we won’t settle for low performers. We reward those who work hard and do a good job, and have to sometimes make tough decisions for those who don’t meet our standards. We have the chance to change children’s lives and drastically impact their futures. We take that responsibility very seriously.
