What a toxic mess - Anonymous employee CHG Healthcare Employee Review

Irresponsible capitalism, constant focus on results, growth, and profit, and a lessening priority of putting people first has led CHG's core values to be a shell of what they were before. This has then allowed right wing values to move in and make a toxic culture. When the pandemic started, CHG was in a perfect spot to help support healthcare workers with more than just a few meals delivered. The company could have easily donated PPE or partner with client organizations to figure out innovative staffing solutions. Instead, we just continued on our way and hoped our nursing business would save us because so many nurses were quitting. Again, we were just waiting to profit off the problem instead of looking to solve it. As a healthcare supporting company, CHG could have also used its massive facilities as a testing/vaccination site. But CHG was too worried about getting "political" instead of treating it like a public health emergency. Yes, employees were allowed to work remotely, but that was mainly due to public pressure and not really a belief that it would be beneficial. It was always seen as a temporary option instead of full time solution. CHG leaders also had a chance to implement a vaccine mandate earlier this summer, but didn't want to make unvaccinated individuals "feel bad." The cowardice and catering to right win ideals backfired this week when a vaccine mandate was announced--which was only because the Biden Administration forced the company's hand. Company blog comments have turned into right wing misinformation threads like ones you would find on Facebook. And yet, no efforts have been made to provide a warning on comments or have them removed. The comments have become more brazen about unvaccinated employees standing their ground and taking actions into their own hands. These comments are alienating and unsafe. But CHG doesn't want to get rid of them as they are too afraid of the mob and aren't willing to stand up to them. However, this isn't just with COVID. Diversity and inclusion programs are watered down and have no purpose. . There are no goals to increase representation among certain groups. No goals to have more diverse leaders in senior levels of the company. Instead, conversation starters with your team are sent out so you discuss your favorite gay TV character. This lessens the chance marginalized employees feel safe and supported in their careers due to how there doesn't seem to a purpose or a plan to grow in the company. If you are looking for a career with a progressive, innovative, and supportive culture, this is not the place.
