Pros
Great projects with good front line managers. Employees can feel good about the work they do and how they contribute. Working towards the good of the country we can feel good about the part we play.
Cons
Employee relations! I feel as if I am only cared about as what work I do and nothing beyond that. I do get not stepping into personal lives but you have to care about the employee as a whole. Life is hard and when you have employees that show up despite that hard life be there for them as they are still showing up and working hard because they take pride in their job. It is hard to do when that is never appreciated or even acknowledged. Employees want to mean somethig to Navarro and it be more than a paycheck. Sometimes a simple I see your effort and thank you or I am thinking about you during this diffucult time can mean everything to a person. Promote from within. Many times when a rare position becomes available external candidates are hired when there are resources internally that can be an excellent option. There is no room for growth within current roles. Moving to a senior or leadership position in the same role would be a great option to keep employees from looking elsewhere for career growth. There appears to be no career growth and the cost of benefits and living continue to rise without salaries changing at the same pace. The impact of that is far greater to those outside of the C Suite. Acknoweldge employees who go above and beyond to do more than their current role. Other duties as assigned should not be the norm so for those of us who do that constantly make an effort to reward that someway.
