Leading Medicine, Failing People:
My experience with this organization both as a patient and as an employee can be summed up in one word – DISSAPOINTING.
Nepotism, racism and gender preference are visible at leadership and staff level. Bullying, insubordination and inappropriate comments to peers and leaders are ignored and almost encouraged. HR is fully aware and unresponsive to the situation. Annual survey comes out and employees become optimistic for change but are quickly disappointed by the lack of follow through or any action to rectify the situation. Several new projects are launched every quarter to distract from the real issue – bad business practices. The clinical advances the hospital accomplishes are almost forgettable when compared against the internal issues plaguing the organization. Executive leadership and management constantly bypass and violate HR hiring policies. Interviews are conducted just as a formality when hires are preselected for certain positions.
Dr. Boom shared how he was going to give up his parking space for patients. Such a shame, as employees, we continue to do this every single day and it goes unacknowledged.
Do something about circumstances or people that are not advancing the hospital. Act. HR, needs to accomplish its role of serving employees. Right now they are non-existent and do not resolve known issues.
