JumpStart Autism Collective Response
3yWe appreciate the time you took to provide feedback about being part of our JumpStart team. We are so glad you had a positive training experience as we truly see that as an essential component to supporting our team and providing high-quality services for our learners. As an organization, we combine our sick leave and PTO so that our team has more flexibility on how they use their days off. We recognize the importance of time off and have also incorporated ways for staff to receive bonus PTO in addition to their regularly accrued PTO. Our team also receives 80 hours of unpaid time off annually and should have several options when looking at taking time off for their physical and mental health. We have thorough learner and staff illness policies in addition to our infectious disease response plan. We must consider all factors for every situation including if the symptoms are accounted for by another condition as many of our learners have varying medical diagnoses. We do not allow gossip and immediately provide feedback to any employees engaging in it. We are hard to ensure an inclusive and engaging culture.
