Vantaggi
This organization has two components....the patient care side is full of dedicated employees who are motivated by the Mission Statement and provide good quality care to patients. SSM Health is very employee centric which is both good and bad, they pay well and have decent benefits.
Svantaggi
The other component consists of the administrative and back office functions. There is something fundamentally wrong with leadership. This organization is extremely top heavy...not something I expected for a "not-for-profit" system.. Too many leaders who are not willing to make a decision because they might be held accountable even though leaders and managers are not held accountable there. . HR rules with an iron fist and makes decisions without regard to cost or policy as long as it makes the employees happy....typically they take the path of least resistance and have little to no regard for what is best for the business. Finance, which is typically one of the stronger departments in any organization, is saddled with poor leadership....leaders who avoid confrontation, don't back their employees back and who tell staff members to leave if they don't like it there...they have no skills in motivating or engaging employees and no interest in learning how.
