Outcome(s) driven, low staff Morale, questionable practices - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Addaction

Further to TUPE, I found, (as many of my colleagues did,) that I was now employed by a ‘charity,’ (how my view of what charities actually means, has now changed.) From the outset, Addaction actively encourages ‘shunning’ previous working NHS practices, (staff employed by them under TUPE,) and work place cultures. Staff are required to attend / engage huge corporate, (and no doubt, very expensive seminars,) with senior management on huge, ( tax payer and charity donation funded,) salaries. Senior managers present themselves as elitist and ‘above and beyond approach,’ of front line workers, hiding behind complicated policies and procedures and ‘clever’ HR bureaucracy. Addaction actively work to push out long serving and experienced staff, especially those on higher TUPE salaries, following their often decades of dedicated and caring work within services such as the NHS, affecting pensions and staff service records. NHS pensions services have also confirmed that Addaction have not payed into the NHS pension scheme, (with regards to TUPE NHS Staff,) despite TUPE Addaction staff having this money taken from wages. From the outset, Addaction push a very corporate approach, with very little focus on staff morale, (some with many years’ experience and commitment to vulnerable people) actively working to “push out,” staff employed under TUPE / those in receipt of higher salaries. Addaction actively work to distance themselves from staff employed directly by Addaction, when things go wrong. Following an investigated by The Guardian Newspaper Addaction actively work to impose legally binding gaging orders on staff who may wish to highlight the dangers / inadequacies of Addaction.
