Vantaggi
Helping animals that need us and can not speak for themselves.
Svantaggi
It saddens me to write this but the CHS is no longer the wonderful organization it once was. The culture has become extremely toxic and that makes it near impossible for staff to do their jobs well and want to continue working at the CHS. This toxicity is perpetuated on the staff by the highest levels of management and human resources. Staff are mistreated, distrusted, managed poorly, and treated as disposable. The level of staff turnover at the CHS is astounding and I have now seen two departments turnover ENTIRELY within the last three months. That many terminations and resignations is NOT normal. There is constant restructuring and replacing happening and stress leaves are rampant. Staff are not permitted to offer ideas on positive changes without being criticized for rocking the boat and being unappreciative. Look at how many jobs the CHS is hiring for at any given time, as that alone tells a story. I wish this organization could get back to what it once was, which was one of kindness and care towards both animals and people. Calgary Humane Society is a charity. The board or an external committee need to look into the terrible behaviour of the CEO and the HR department towards the staff. Trust what is being experienced over and over by regular staff just trying to make a difference and do their jobs.
