Pros
salary and benefits, flexible work hours, independence, ED acknowledges workplace culture needs improvement.
Cons
The Supported Child Development program leads have limited skills in managing and training a staff team as well as delivering responsive services to childcare programs and families. The SCD program manager has created a psychologically unsafe work environment within the SCD department. Workplace bullying, retaliation, and ageism have caused disengagement and strain on employees. Recognition, acknowledgement, or even honest feedback is seldom provided to select employees. The centre continues to strive for misguided accolades rather than advocating and building services that are in the best interests of the diverse families they serve.
