Pros
Swedish is an affiliate of Providence which has an Amazing mission that resonates -Know me, Care for me, Ease my way. This is for patients and employees alike and it is a true intention they try to live out with each interaction and thought. The hospital administrators and leaders are also inspirational as well as the staff that works to create great patient care.
Cons
HR Leaders at the Swedish affiliate struggle with what true leadership is; Human Resources is not an example for Swedish leaders to follow and as an agency of advisement to the rest of the company, they should be. HR employees cannot speak up for fear of retaliation and are alone as even the highest HR level at Swedish does not recognize or perceive any problems. Stressful & unrelenting micromanagement with unrealistic expectations. The business suffers as a result of this poor management. Until there is a change in management I would not recommend Providence Swedish as a healthy place to work for any HR person looking for a job that embodies respect and care.
