Pros

Great culture of positive thinking people. I joined Sutter because in grad school we looked at Sutter for examples on industry standards. It really is a great place to work.

Cons

Sutter time. I guess since Sutter has worked so hard to develop standards in place, it takes a longer time for new ideas to take effect.

Thanks for sharing your voice! Creating a great culture is something that we put a lot of focus on here at SPS and we are happy to hear that it's paying off! I can appreciate your comment about new ideas taking a long time to take effect. Collaboration and buy-in are key components of our culture here at SPS and therefore, decisions can sometimes take a while. Sharing your ideas and your voice is a key agent to change so continue to do so with your leaders. Feedback is key to making improvements. To address your comment about remote working – we have several pockets of our organization that currently telecommute. If you think you/your team would benefit from telecommuting, I encourage you to share this idea with your supervisor/manager so that he/she can investigate whether this is something that could be formally adopted. There are several requirements from a compliance and security perspective that would need to be researched. Sincerely, Carla Alegado

Pros

Leadership trainings, conferences, educational opportunities, Senior leadership seems to respond to employee feedback, Great organizational transparency and clarity around goals and direction, Front-line leadership receiving recognition more often, Fair (not amazing) compensation and benefits overall, Organization seems to be healthy and growing which is encouraging for job security and retention.

Cons

Unsustainable front-line leadership expectations, responsibilities, and tasks without providing support from supervisors or assistant managers specifically in San Francisco campuses, High burnout risk among front-line leaders which is continuing to increase, Growing list of contradicting or conflicting priorities. Patient experience scores have improved greatly in SF but patient quality/safety and employee satisfaction has become the apparent cost of that, Very unreasonable span of control for front-line leaders, i.e. way too many direct reports, Meeting metrics and KPIs at all costs is the message being received. Front-line leaders are left scrambling to reach the data points (regardless of the methods), to get there. In other words, we might be meeting the metrics and KPIs on paper, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the real purpose or reason behind those metrics is being performed. We’re just desperate to keep our jobs, The leadership culture in the last 6-9 months has shifted towards motivation through fear. Fear of losing our jobs or bonuses rather than motivation by providing actual daily support in doing our jobs and genuine concern and encouragement to succeed.
