Mostly positive - Anonymous employee YoungMinds Employee Review

Good place to work! Great team

Could use good management also.

- the people. I have never worked anywhere with more committed and passionate people. - the cause. The work Youngminds does can’t be faulted. As a charity it is committed to its goals. - to some extent flexibility - but this was undermined by workload. - Emma Thomas was a great CEO but hasn’t been the CEO for a number of years. Those that have taken over have not met the same standard.

- unattainable workload. Expectations to work above and beyond hours. Almost encourages compassion fatigue. Work done to assess workload was never acted on. - poor SLT. Poor decision making. Bad people management. Lack of learning from mistakes. - failure to see employees as ‘humans’. Poor at managing people, especially as a mental health charity. - promotion based on if you fit and were liked. - poor performance of senior management not addressed - leading to risk.
