High turnover for a good reason - Anonymous employee United Way Employee Review

We are very sorry to hear that you were dissatisfied during your short stay at UWBA. With unemployment in the 8 counties we serve hovering between 2.5% and 3%, we have seen a predictable amount of attrition. Particularly of concern to us are the people who have moved out of California entirely because they have no hope of ever buying a house here. That is a loss for the region as well as for us. Still, we are very proud that, on average, our employees have a tenure of 8 years (2017) . We are equally proud that among the questions on our annual climate survey that get the highest positive ratings are the questions about job satisfaction and business ethics. We see the perfect accountability and transparency score we were awarded by Charity Navigator (4 stars, 100%) as a independent, unbiased confirmation of staff opinions. By their nature, systemic solutions to poverty are long-term, collective impact propositions. As our recent community conversation series affirmed, United Way Bay Area is widely recognized for its vision, effectiveness, and competence in sustaining regional initiatives that provide jobs for youth, lift families out of poverty, and connect those in need with lifeline services.
