Limited perks overshadowed by poor HR and favoritism - Communications NHS Supply Chain Employee Review

An opportunity to deliver for the NHS. Great for the heart

Constant devaluing of the role. Poor reward package and a senior leadership that

Generally teammates are nice There are good health benefits and efforts to improve wellbeing and mental health Amazing culture of being able to reach out to colleagues and senior leads for advice, support or coaching The outlook for future does look interesting and exciting - and will continue to do so if there aren’t the same budget cuts others NHS orgs face

Still an air of bureaucracy and targets-based/performance micromanaging Which goes counter to some of the mental health promotion done if managers are just undoing any progress every meeting There’s not many opportunities for ups-killing and time for self-directed learning. No protected hours, or initiatives and skills training to support junior colleagues in progression. There’s lots of pointing out what may have been done wrong, but rarely a time, outside the big monthly meetings, to say well done to colleagues for picking up something fast, or engaging with other colleagues positively.
