Fairview Health Services Employee Reviews about "leadership"

Pros

Nursing leaders who have been at the unit level have high skill level.

Cons

The higher level nursing leaders seem to lack insight about what is needed by nurses at the bedside. Nurses with years of knowledge are not respected for their potential. Newer nurses with very little experience hired into leadership positions and asked for their opinions over experienced nurses.

Pros

Strong teamwork and sense of belonging. Opportunity to impact the health system from lower leadership levels. Constant tempo toward improvement with safety initiatives and patient care.

Cons

Continuing change in leadership and regional structure creates uncertainty and political upheaval.

Pros

Great STO and benefits. Management has improved significantly over the years.

Cons

HR and high leadership is unwilling to help in difficult situations and always jump to any extreme.

Pros

The benefits are comparable to other organizations.

Cons

Leadership is very disconnected and is not open to change which is the reason a lot of people are leaving

Pros

Benefits, Compensation, PTO, Culture, Work/Life Balance

Cons

Frequent reorganizations and leadership changes

Pros

I have been working for Fairview for close to 11 years. Fairview is very big on promoting from within, and having been through no less than 4 promotions within the same overall department, I feel I am a great example of this.

Cons

Will be nice to have a CEO in place to show clear leadership and direction.

Pros

Flexible schedules throughout the year.

Cons

Lack of leadership structure and clear guidelines.

Pros

I enjoy the individuals that I work with.

Cons

The senior leadership and administration do not give the necessary time to the front line staff. The demands and requirements of the job continue to increase but the compensation and job title remain the same.

Pros

The healthcare needs that they fill need to be met. Most clinical providers are extremely caring. There are good groups of managers that have integrity and are able to overcome the lack of support and leadership by executive level management. Fairview has the ability to be great if it receives better leadership.

Cons

Some, but not all management, from middle to executive level will target you if they do not like your opinions. They ask for candid feedback, but will find ways to retaliate against you for giving it. Be careful if you do not understand this. Human resources staff are centralized and removed from the people. This leads to issues where some HR staff believe that all employees are trying to abuse the system, which leads to a lack of respect and care for staff. This is extremely damaging.

Pros

Well known healthcare system that has an established community. Recent alliances with University of MN physicians and HealthEast extend opportunity and reach for medical research and patient access. Recent investment in innovation and rebranding may reinvigorate the workforce.

Cons

Top down management. Inequality in pay for similar roles in other healthcare systems leads to turnover and dissatisfaction in all roles. Fairview has big ideas but leadership in the C suite has been transitional and erratic.
