Vantaggi

Svantaggi

Ginger is not what it seems. There is a lot of discrimination between African American staff and staff of other racial backgrounds. African Americans do not have opportunities for career growth like other races. The company is predominantly white with this racial group occupying upper management roles. Of all the races employed within this company African Americans occupy more service roles rather than managerial. Many African American staff members are aware of the discrepancies between what is said and what is done but are afraid to talk about issues that leaders insist do not exist. Issues that leaders of a different race could not possibly understand, issues that should be ignored as long as the person is employed.

We are disappointed to read your feedback and are sorry this has been your experience. DEI is a major priority for us at Ginger. In addition to our intensive, company-wide work with Stronghold Collective and Merging Path, we recently introduced our DEI strategy for the year. One of our strategies is to "Attract and develop a diverse workforce, at every level of the organization so we can maintain a non-white identified employee base of 35% or higher." It may be helpful to share some current statistics, and we're happy to do so here: as of today, our workforce is 40% non-white identified. Of roughly 500 employees, 200 identify as BIPOC; of that group 75 identify as African American, 32% of our managers identify as BIPOC, and of those nearly half, 14%, identify as African American. We also presented the results from our Inclusion Survey at our Snaps All-Hands meeting on 9/9 and next steps we are taking to fulfill our goals. An additional key pillar of our strategy is to track and report-out on development and advancement of underrepresented talent to ensure equitable practices across our organization. While we've made some significant strides over the past two years, we are also crystal clear that we have a lot of work still ahead of us, which is why we encourage ongoing growth conversations at 1:1 meetings, and consistently train all managers to make managing effectively across racial and culture differences a core competency at Ginger. We know that eliminating mental healthcare disparities starts with a diverse mental health workforce and career growth opportunities for everyone. Our People Ops team is working tirelessly to fulfill this. We are always striving to create a psychologically safe environment in which people feel comfortable sharing their feedback directly. If you have additional thoughts, we invite you to share those with your manager, the People Ops team, or via our anonymous concerns form available to all employees. As always, we hope for - and welcome - authentic conversation and real-time connection, as we find those to be most effective in learning, growing and moving the needle, together.

Wellness benefits Unlimited PTO Caring and compassionate coaches

Svantaggi

Coaches are disregarded and unheard. We keep telling management what we need and they do the opposite. Example: (1)we need a cap on how many members we talk to. We are still not capped and often times stuck with talking to 5 ppl at a time with some high risk (2) recently we were broken in pods of 10-11 other coaches. That is the main group for us to now communicate because management believes it was better to split us all up vs allow us access to all of the coaches as before. This is absolutely ridiculous. (3) Our pay is extremely low for the work we do. They keep quoting industry standard and not considering the cost of living. (4) We are burnt out and burning out. Weekly coaches are resigning, going part time or relief. Mgmt doesn’t seem to care because they’ll just hire a replacement. We love what we do and yet mgmt decisions are driving major compassion fatigue in all of us.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear all of the concerns you’ve outlined, and in particular, your comments on listening and empathy. This is critical to our success as an organization, in alignment with our value of cultivating compassion. We recently fielded a comprehensive survey of our coaches to understand key pain points and come up with solutions. In addition, we solicit feedback from coaches through meetings and 1:1s on a weekly basis. We’ve heard tremendously helpful ideas from coaches, and are working to implement many of these now. One of the changes we’re making involves moving to a new system of pods, to create more consistency when it comes to management and supervision, to improve our approach to training, as well as to create a greater sense of cohesion among coaches. This change, like all changes, will include some bumps in the road, as we work to improve everything from our meeting schedule to our communication tools. We appreciate that change can be difficult, and we want to partner with you, and all of our coaches, to ensure that we learn together over time. Regarding coaching volume, this is a top priority for our business operations team and our leadership, to ensure that we have a durable and sustainable model moving forward. We are in the midst of rolling out many different initiatives to ensure we are accurately understanding demand patterns and staffing appropriately. These include building in a hard cap on the number of consultations coaches do within a period of time, as well as considering other ways to allow coaches to have more predictability in their workday. If you believe your load is higher than it should be, please talk directly with your manager or other member of Coaching Leadership. Our goal is to ensure that we have good visibility into the day-to-day experience of coaches, but our data, like all data, may not always reflect a coach's unique or complete experience. For this reason, we partner closely with coaches to ensure we can identify specific and targeted fixes, as needed. In terms of compensation, we partner with external consultants to get up-to-date market data, which is key for us in making determinations about pay--for coaches as well as other staff. The virtual care market changes quickly, so we regularly evaluate our compensation package to ensure that it is competitive. Recent improvements include an increase in our 401k match, as well as a generous wellness stipend. We would love to be able to discuss your feedback further, and encourage you to reach out to your manager or another member of our Care leadership team. In the meantime, if you haven't already, we highly encourage you to complete the survey we sent to all coaches a few weeks ago (week of Jan. 31), so that we can understand the causes of stress that are most impactful for you. A major focus right now is gathering more accurate data about coach experience, given that there is so much variability, and we hear positive feedback on a regular basis. This survey will enable us to have a deep and nuanced understanding of the coach experience, including yours. So far we’ve had an excellent response rate to the survey, which will close soon. If you haven’t yet completed it, please do. Thank you again for your feedback.
