Sutter Health Response

Thank you for sharing this feedback. Supervisor and employee one-on-one time and training is extremely important and we believe that there is always opportunity to make things better. Here's what we've done. To increase leadership presence and availability on the floor, we have implemented the assistance line which connects team members to Supervisors and SMEs to assist with questions that arise daily. We will also make a focused effort to commit to 1:1 time with staff to ensure we are meeting your needs for success. For training new hires, we will give them an opportunity to practice skills in a simulated/controlled environment with peer mentors prior to encountering these situations in their actual role. Your feedback has been instrumental in helping us continually improve. If you ever have additional concerns or suggestions on how we can be better together, my door is always open and I would love to hear from you. Sincerely, Chris Keller, Manager, Patient Access Solutions

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.
