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.
3.1The company that used to sincerely try hard to separate itself from the "huge corporation syndrome" in its employee relations appears to have shifted focus and goals. After a 2018 that far exceeded expectations concerning revenue, and yes that was 228 BILLION dollars, adding over 2.4 million new customers to its brand and swallowing up competitors left and right the company has begun implementing a "fewer employees, more work" approach that is killing morale all around. I was always so happy to have found my job many years ago, and each year it improved with new ideas and processes. New opportunities, better systems, smarter metrics. The company has fallen prey to the "UES Score" system, which is what sent morale into the toilet at my previous job at the worlds largest communications company. They are also eliminating or wildly reducing departments with a plan to "cross-pollinate" the work. The company no longer holds townhall-style meetings for their departments (something they did quarterly for years.) Employee input is directed towards a specific web forum for "ideas" where they get a standard acknowledgment. It's basically monitored to test morale. The team managers, who used to be amazing (and UHC should be lucky to have them), are being forced into boxes of standard corporate-think. Numbers. Numbers. Numbers. Survey. Survey. Survey. The change in management is sad, but anyone who has worked for large corps knows the routine.
The medical insurance offered by THE WORLDS LARGEST INSURANCE COMPANY is insulting. Everyone agrees, but most just keep their mouth shut as because they have a job. UHC should be publicly shamed for that aspect of its employment practices.
Do I see light at the end of this "rough patch?" Not really. It is becoming the megalithic monstrosity that befell all of its predecessors. No, the company won't fail, but the work environment has begun the march towards much higher turnover and constant low morale. I wish it would prove me wrong.
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.
