1.4 Executive management needs to spend time in the trenches. Webcasts and conference calls from up on high do very little to affect any real change. They need to pay attention to the (currently meaningless) yearly evaluations, and act on them. Currently, the interest is getting the bad scores to go up the following year but no meaningful follow-up to change. Managers can make a bogus promise to their staff and tell them that their department score is dependent on this to happen. I have seen it happen. Lies to get the score up, and then the manager moves on. It is currently a waste of time. Executive management should also review the mid-upper level managers. Are they good workers but poor leaders Place good workers in positions to do that work - not lead. Not all managers that can complete tasks on a spreadsheet are fit to lead. Cross-departmental career paths should be developed for all employees, so that other opportunities exist even if their current department is being downsized. Executive management should invest more in the training of its people, and realize that there is NO FORMAL TRAINING PROGRAM outside of customer service. Web-based classes do not help adults learn. You want better/loyal employees - invest in them and get rid of poor managers. If not, do not be surprised at the wealth of knowledge that walks out the door as the market improves.
1.8 Make the focus again about caring for the members, and allow employees the time and good tools (without the 10 or 15 work arounds) to accomplish the task. If you continue to outsource so much, you will never get a quality product. Every vendor says they can do it better and cheaper, but look at how many customers you have lost with each and every vendor. Every leader (and I mean every) should be expected to perform the tasks they are managing (annually). It would keep the directors, managers, etc., realistic about what is possible, and where the true challenges are.
2.9Management is poor and ineffective. My manager set me up for failure and did not follow through on her promises She scheduled me for work I had no idea about and she didn’t either when I asked her. It also was rare that I received real-time feedback from a manager; they would instead tell my manager all the things they think I did wrong and she would believe them. Management is extremely critical of everything you do so unless they approve of you, you will not succeed in the department. This can be challenging since managers often communicate poorly if at all to staff. Each manager has different expectations, which only muddies the waters. Managers delegate most of the roles and responsibilities they are listed as responsible for on that document online downward and Leads do it as well often without telling their team. Turnover is quite high and one director seemed proud of that as she boasted that many staff don’t last six months while complaining how hard it is to fire people. Managers seem to excel at negative feedback and seemingly would rather get rid of staff than develop them. I had to constantly bring up examples of my contributions since managers will either minimize or ignore any strengths you might have and are all too ready to detail your weaknesses/faults which were not tied to any data/metrics and had little impact on the project. Managers are arrogant and overconfident in their leadership abilities and above reproach as they are consistently praised by senior leaders. Feedback is used as a tool to knock an employee down by cherry picking those incidents that fit a narrative. I equate what management did to me after less than a year as a witch hunt. They will use “facts” to their advantage to disparage staff, removing all culpability from management. They take care of their own and will find ways to pick apart anyone who stands in their way before doing everything in their power to dump them. They pay really well though.
