I'm really hoping to see some improvements in our agency's culture overall. There are definitely some fantastic areas, but then there are parts that feel a bit not friendly, and I wouldn't suggest folks consider applying for jobs there just yet.
Additionally, I believe that Adapt can play a big role in fostering a culture that promotes personal growth among employees. I've seen some wonderful success stories of individuals who started in entry-level positions and worked their way up to management through training and further education. However, I've also known people—myself included—who hesitated to pursue training opportunities because they were told it wouldn't benefit their current roles, which can really hold them back.
It's also disheartening to hear about employees who didn't receive the support they needed when trying to go back to school. There are certainly pathways for entry-level employees to gain credentials and access training and educational support, but it seems like there might be gaps in communication or motivation from some supervisors. It would be great to see more encouragement for personal and professional development across the board!
