Started well, ended poorly - Anonymous employee Educated Choices Program Employee Review

Thank you for your feedback. I’m so glad to hear you enjoy our 4-day work week. You are right in that we provide satisfaction surveys filled out anonymously to encourage employees to be honest and open. We take feedback very seriously and do our best to implement action items based on it. Our staff comprises people from all walks of life and needs, and as much as we’d love to please everyone, we can’t, but we do our best within our abilities. Our employee retention rate is high. Today, out of our 13 current employees, six started as part-time Field Educators, moving up to management and director positions over the years. Another two started as interns, became employees, and are now managers. Lastly, many of our current contractors are former employees who chose to continue working with us when we closed down the in-person program. Our growth to other countries has been meticulous and mindful, only spending time and resources after careful consideration. Student/viewer numbers are categorically accurate and reflect what faculty and community members enter when they fill out our booking form. We can’t change those numbers. We keep meticulous records of bookings to back up our numbers, which are available to anyone who requests them. Transparency is essential to us. I’m sorry your experience with us was not a positive one. As we continue with our work, we will consider your feedback.
