Central California Alliance for Health Reviews

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for the Alliance here on Glassdoor. I’m happy to read your comments about benefits, staff, and our mission. Thank you also for sharing your comments on decision making and employee input. (I believe you meant to write “Challenge the Process,” one of the five practices of exemplary leadership, which we strive to follow as we focus on our important work.) I will be sure to consider and share your feedback with others and explore opportunities and ways in which we can do better in these areas.

Hi there and thanks for taking the time to leave feedback for the Alliance here on Glassdoor. I'm happy to read you're liking our work life balance opportunities. Here at the Alliance we offer fulltime telecommuting opportunities for staff where/when business needs are met. We also offer very flexible work schedules to support staff. I'm very interested in hearing more about your experiences that take longer than what you might think, and/or if you have suggestions around improving efficiency and effectiveness. As you know, one of our values is that of "Improvement," with a focus on the continuous pursuit of quality through learning and growth. I can be reached via email or a message on Teams if you'd like to share some details. Thank you again.

Thanks so much for taking the time to share feedback about the Alliance here on Glassdoor. I’m so happy to read that you’ve touched on staff benefits and compensation, our culture and also your coworkers as contributing to a positive overall experience for you. While we may not have the scale for promotions that some other larger organizations may be able to offer, we actively focus on promoting eligible and qualified staff from within where and when we can. Last year (2021), 42% of job openings were filled by current employees resulting in their transition to a higher job level, and/or advancement into another department or into leadership. Of those 70 openings, 13 were for roles on our leadership team (supervisor, manager, director, chief). Sixty-nine percent of those 13 openings were filled by internal staff. Thank you again for taking the time to leave your comments.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for the Alliance on Glassdoor. I’m glad to hear that you enjoy our variety of benefits which are designed for our employees to experience a healthy life/work balance. It also good to hear that you have felt supported by the staff on our management teams through the pandemic and appreciated having an HR presence in Merced. The mass layoff you mention, in which staffing was reduced by 4%, occurred in 2018 and was necessary due to budgetary constraints. Your ideas and suggestions on further connecting with our members are always welcomed and appreciated. As we transition back to working in our offices, we will keep in mind your suggestion for more leadership presence in both our Merced and Salinas offices. I appreciate your feedback in this area. Thanks again for leaving feedback.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for the Alliance on Glassdoor. At the Alliance we understand that a total compensation package is important to our staff. With that in mind, we work with an external compensation consulting firm to conduct regular compensation surveys so that we can adjust our salary ranges to be aligned with labor costs. I'd be curious to hear more about your impression of the benefits we offer to employees. In general, most employees find our benefits package to be quite generous and competitive. I invite readers of this review to click on the link for “Benefits” here on the Alliance’s Glassdoor.com page. Our rating for benefits is 4.5 out of five stars, and feedback directly from our employees can be reviewed. Some of the more popular benefits from our offerings are clarified below: -Employer funded 401(a) retirement plan at 10% of an employee’s salary after one year of employment. -Onsite fitness centers in all three office locations. -Monthly health and wellness reimbursement for health clubs, fitness classes, nutrition and weight loss consulting, and smoking cessation courses. -Generous PTO starting at 28 days per year. -11 paid holidays. -Bereavement leave (three days per occurrence). -Annual Costco membership fee reimbursement. -Employee referral incentives. -Annual onsite flu shot clinics. -Medical (HMO, PPO, HSA), Dental and Vision insurance. Budgetary constraints resulted in the need to cancel the twice-weekly delivery of fresh fruit for staff that you mention. This change was made back in 2018. Thanks again for leaving feedback for the Alliance.
