Finest example of Obfuscation in the Workplace The good thingsYou will build resilience through managing high levels of stress and staff shortages.
The challengesCentralised departments that were intended to create more efficiency for frontline and management tiers, if you escalate issues over these departments you are constantly gaslit by upper management and told there is no issue or they are working on improvement ( 4 years and counting..) Since the C-suite has been onboarded they have constantly evolved into a transformation and change, new systems were and are implemented then retracted months later and no communication was sent out. Outdated policies and procedures and upper management only bring them out when it suits them. HR was non-existent, however, they will contact you if they need you and you best respond straight away. Once you are on-boarded you are left to figure it out very quickly, there is a high turnover of staff ( and along with it their knowledge and experience). Leadership was, does and is tooting a cascade and connect approach philosophy but lost count of how much communication you had to derive from the union instead for company updates because staff never receive, or some do ( feels like the lotto or maybe not for some ) communication emails. What was once a pioneer in social services is now a corporate finance-hungry machine. Disappointed to find c-suite who are managing a well-being service are ignorant or significantly out of touch with reality to understand that they are required to be positive role models and act out their motto to their workforce and frontline staff who should matter the most. How can the C-suite expect staff to be at their best in supporting our communities when the organisation repeatedly does not support them at being their best in well-being? Local and national health promotions and forums have been neglected and staff are unable to attend (staff shortages or no budget) and our offices would once get together with great camaraderie and support mental health national days, but now staff don't even get an email for R U OK day? Continued money is being spent on external consultation agencies, yet the frontline staff would be happy to provide the feedback for free.
