      Advice to Management

      Lead by example. If you don’t know how to do your job, ask until you do. It’s not a social event first, it’s a patient’s quality of care and a job well done first. Or should be.. Continue outsourcing for home health specific chart training. Please consider realistic home health background experience as mandatory before accepting that employee for a director position. Great people aren’t automatically great directors, mainly bc if they’re lost most of the time how they going to direct the right way? It’s a lot to learn. Learn, then direct. Winging it is great if successful, as long as patient care quality remains intact. Quality can’t be compromised. Period.

      Pros

      This is the only place I would wish to be treated if needed. The healthcare is very good. Benefits are good.

      Cons

      SALARY. Management piles on the work, with no financial increase in sight.

      Advice to Management

      "Good people don't leave good jobs, they leave incompetent directors/managers" Upper Management-Pay attention to that, and properly compensate your workforce with salary increases, not compliments & empty promises and ice cream.

      Benefits are great and that’s pretty much it.

      Cons

      Schedules aren’t flexible
      HR can be a little unprofessional
      Management cares more about other stuff rather than their own employees

      Advice to Management

      They should focus more in colleagues and retaining the good ones.

      Pros

      Culture, bonuses for mgt team, patient population, meeting community health needs

      Cons

      No room to grow, low pay, work life balance non existent, conservative organization meaning not willing to take on risk and buy practices which really reduces our reach in Montgomery County

      Advice to Management

      Take a closer look at what divisions are doing. Actually treat employees equitable, the health network shouldn’t be an afterthought.

      I have been working at Holy Cross Health full-time

      Pros

      The benefits are cheap. I am talking about your health care premiums. Holy Cross actually foots a majority of the costs for coverage. Working at a place that offers A LOT of heath services to the uninsured. I am proud to be apart of a mission that seeks to increase health care access and improve health outcomes.

      Cons

      VERY low pay compared to over hospitals in the area. NO merit-based salary increases. You get the same pay increase or bonuses as the other mediocre and sub-par employees. High-level leadership is TOO INVOLVED in the day-to-day operations, including things like time cards and running staff meetings instead of having the manager do it. HR doesn’t respond to transfer bids. It’s as if they don’t want to promote from within but they’d rather hire an outsider to come in. I can do on, but I’m tired of typing.

      Advice to Management

      Listen, support, and advocate for your staff!!
