KVC Health Systems reviews

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. We're so glad that you are experiencing good support from your supervisor and job flexibility. Shadowing front line staff is a great idea. Some of our departments have done that recently, such as the Business Information Technology team, seeking to learn how we can streamline processes and make documentation easier through mobile apps. Many of our top leaders are on the front lines with staff regularly. This past weekend, a Vice President brought breakfast and Easter baskets to children and teens waiting to be matched with foster families and the staff caring for them. Your review doesn't list your location or department, but assuming that you are on our largest team (KVC Kansas), we have a good sense of some of the real issues: a 39% increase in the number of children in foster care in the last 5 years, fewer safe placement options for children, and ongoing workforce challenges causing high caseloads and turnover. We released an infographic explaining the causes of these challenges and how we are partnering with others to solve them. Check it out at http://www.kvckansas.org/childwelfareinfographic Our first priority is to be fully staffed so we can provide high-quality, effective services to children and families. As a current employee, we invite you and your supervisor to make sure you're sharing your ideas with other leaders in your area. We are committed to continuous improvement and want to hear from you.

We're sorry to hear that you had a negative experience. KVC does not have a foster care program in Kansas City, MO currently so we're unsure which team you were on. Honesty and ethical behavior are paramount at KVC not only because they are core values, but because we are partnering with state child welfare agencies, the courts and other organizations to provide vital services to children and families. We understand that the work we do matters greatly in people's lives and thus we aim to put people first and do the right thing. Did you contact HR or your local leaders at any point? We would have liked the opportunity to resolve your concerns.
