There is no work/life balance. By shifting to a hybrid, mostly remote, work environment meetings are routinely scheduled before work hours, during lunch hours and after work hours. Many of us have standing meetings in those windows.
Like another reviewer indicated, there is a significant investment in Deloitte. I have not seen what value they bring, nor do I understand why there is a blank check for them without any ROI. Northwell would hate to survey analysts and front line leaders on their opinion on Deloitte's involvement.
Illusion of employee engagement. We are living the pizza party meme, where morale is improved by a food drop off in common areas when people may be on site. If you are not on site that day, you are out of luck. I would encourage my EDS colleagues to not attend the "Celebration" event. I know that I have nothing to celebrate from the past 2 years and do want my engagement to be misconstrued as support for current EDS leadership. I'm excited that my day may end at a normal time so I can have my personal time.
Many individuals in IT have very unclear and uncertain futures with the organization due to the Epic transformation. Stress in those teams are as high as it is for those on the Epic Transformation project whose Go Live was delayed. Overall, we're all collectively nervous about our futures with the organization.
