Analysis:
- Responses were 1.8% higher this year, in spite of the pandemic.
- The only two downward changes had to do with quality:
- How to get resources to do my job (-1.8%)
- Motivation to improve things (-1.4%).
- The largest jumps were related to ensuring our future:
- Planning to stay with MMH (6.4% increase)
- Improving the organization’s financial health (4.8%).
- Our very highest rating was for providing quality care (3.75 out of 4).
- Our lowest rating related to educational and professional goals (3.21 out of 4).
- Though ensuring our future (3.34) received the biggest year-over-year increase, it remains significantly lower than exceptional experience and quality (3.62 and 3.58, respectively).
Conclusions:
MMH employees remain cautiously optimistic about the way things are going, in spite of the difficulties brought on by the singular events of this extraordinary year.
We’re all invested in the ongoing stability of this organization because many of us intend to stay here long-term. Above all, we pride ourselves in the exceptional care we provide our patients, and if there’s a single area which stands out as having room for growth, it’s limitations to reaching our goals for personal growth, and difficulty in accessing the resources we need to improve our jobs.
Overall, we’re largely positive and upbeat about the organization, and the direction in which we’re heading.
