Pros
Leadership is very responsive to the demands of the workforce. due to a recent engagement survey, the Agency discovered some areas in which we can improve. As a result, they implemented pay increases to our lowest paid staff, clarified the current PTO policy and allowed the workforce to take a vote on it and much more. Having the opportunity to be a part of the some of the leadership conversations, it is clear they have a true interest in the health and well-being of staff. To be honest, the leadership team is receptive to the changes the newer generations are ushering into the environment. An organization that doesn't welcome change is dead. I imagine that if we keep in the same vein as we have been, we'll be around and thriving for many more years to come!
Cons
Work life balance can be low when working in the social services industry, overall. This is nothing specific to Talbert House. Talbert House truly trusts its employees to speak up when feeling overworked and take initiative in delegating or taking training and development courses as aid in managing their responsibilities.
