Overworked and Understaffed

Business Outlook

Pros

Not many these days. There is a lot of networking opportunities

Cons

There’s continued pressure to pack providers schedules with more and more patients and add more patient hours but we’re not given the tools or team to match the workload. It’s causing burnt out employees and providers leading to a more negative environment. Middle management ends up being the scapegoat for upper leadership’s demands while given no support, instead being told “make it work” over and over. I used to be proud to work for Northwell, but the continued threats of staff cuts and budget issues is making it miserable.
