Just this past week we have been asked to complete an Employee Survey with one of the goals being to improve employee satisfaction and retention. A mandatory meeting is to follow the submission of the survey, presumably to discuss the findings and the action plan management will enact to improve employee satisfaction.
I contemplated and labored over the completion of my survey for the last three days and have finally put it to rest. I have to say, the very best part of my job is working with the most awesome group of women I have every worked with, bar none. And that's a pretty bold statement. The weekend shift of day and night nurses are a very diverse group of ladies, but we work well together. When it comes to patient care, quite simply, we are of like minds.
At ANGELs, we have come to know the pains often bestowed an organization that has grown quickly - but not always and necessarily flourished under such growth. Management is taking a bold step and asking for open-ended responses to tough questions. Hopefully this is in an effort to make a commitment to an action of change. And what shall these changes be? That is not for me to decide but the collective voice of the employees who also labor over their surveys, wanting their voices to be heard in an effort that positive change will be the end result. So many diverse opinions, ideas, opportunities, attitudes, feelings, observations, and suggestions. What will be brought forth and become the new fabric that is woven to knit tightly the current loosely tied factions of employees? What actions can be put in place to boost moral. A formidable task. One that I sincerely hope management is prepared to accept and able to accomplish. Again, a truly formidable and daunting undertaking! To be charged with the responsibility and vision of a new mission will require inspired leadership - good luck with your pursuits and aspirations. We are all counting on you!
