Hello, Thank you for taking the time to submit feedback on your unique POV at Powerback. We're incredibly sorry to hear that you have had a less than stellar experience with us, and would like to provide some clarity to help you understand our policies and procedures regarding productivity and compensation. Productivity rates are used to help us ensure that the care we provide aligns with our ongoing commitment to outstanding clinical quality. We utilize the Triple AIM approach to focus on improving patient outcomes and experience in an efficient manner. That being said, if you have concerns about productivity rates within your role, your manager is an excellent resource who can help you express any further concerns beyond your immediate team. Thanks to staff feedback, in February 2025, our HR team announced that annual performance reviews will now be tied to potential merit increases based on individual performance and overall eligibility, taking into account prior year rate increases. We're thrilled to share that Powerback full-time staff AND part-time staff are eligible, again, depending on individual performance and overall eligibility. If you'd like more information on this new process, please reach out to your appointed HR representative– they'd be happy to help point you to the best path to help you best understand the guidelines for this new procedural change. We're committed to creating a work environment that allows every Powerback team member to thrive at all levels of care, and we hope that these shared resources and responses help clarify the rationale behind our policies. However, we know that a simple review response may not answer all of your questions or address all of your concerns. We would like to encourage you to share any additional thoughts, ideas, and feedback with our team during one of our companywide national open office hour meetings each Monday morning/afternoon. Many of the best ideas to improve Powerback come directly from staff like you, and we'd love to hear your thoughts from your unique POV. If you'd like to participate, you can find more information on your Powerback gmail calendar. We sincerely appreciate your continued commitment to improving the lives you touch as a Speech-Language Pathologist. With your efforts, we know that patients have peace of mind on their journey to recovery. Thank you for all you do! Have a great day! --Aimee, Marketing Specialist

Pros

Fifteen years ago, I joined this Rehabilitation company looking for more than just a job-I was looking for a place where I could make a meaningful difference. What I found was an organization whose mission aligned with my own values; helping people regain confidence, independence, dignity, and hope, during some of the most challenging times in their lives. From my very first day, I realized this was more than a workplace. It was a community of compassionate professionals united by a common purpose-supporting and guiding patients to achieve goals that they may have thought were out of reach. Whether it is assisting someone in taking their first steps after surgery, helping a patient return home safely and independently after an illness, or simply regain a lost skill, these moments continually remind me why our work matters so much and reinforces my commitment to this profession and especially to this organization which continually encourages me and empowers me to challenge myself and expand my capabilities. What has kept me here for the past 15 years, is not just the opportunity to build this career, but the opportunity to be a part of something bigger than myself. Powerback Rehab has fostered a culture of compassion, innovation, and continuous improvement. This company recognizes that when employees grow, patients benefit, and therefore communities become stronger. My decision to continue growing with Powerback Rehab is rooted in a simple belief. When you find a place that allows you to make a difference, supports your development, and shares your values, it becomes more than a workplace, it becomes a source of inspiration.

Cons

Pros

Flexibility let’s start times, days that you work

Cons

Hiring team not upfront about true responsibilities and work atmosphere. Was told I could be working at 8 to 430, no holidays, no weekends. When I started, I was told if you take off a holiday you would have to make it up on the weekend. I was also told no residence will work with you at 8 AM so I would wait to come in till later in the morning. Depending on the residence at the independent living facility you may not start when you want to start, lots of refusals and working around their schedule, not your own. Ended up being there much later than anticipated every night of the week, productivity requirements were impossible.

Hello, Thank you immensely for taking the time to share your candid feedback with us. We're incredibly sorry to hear that you did not receive the support you deserved as a new team member. While our process to request feedback in your first few weeks of hire is recent, this does not excuse what you've shared, that we failed to connect with you to learn how we could better support you in your new role. I'm so deeply sorry that this was your experience. Our ongoing goal for our culture and our staff is to create an experience where everyone can thrive at all levels of care. What you've shared here is incredibly helpful, as it includes the exact context I need to directly follow up on your concerns in order to better meet this goal. I've connected with the appropriate teams, and again, sincerely appreciate you sharing these difficult details of your experience. If you have absolutely any additional insights you'd like to share, please do not hesitate to participate in your exit interview process. This process allows us to connect with you 1:1 if needed to provide you with additional support, even as a former Powerback employee. If you'd like to participate, please keep an eye out for an email sent to your personal email address that was on file during your time at Powerback. We appreciate you taking the time to share with us what steps we needed to take to better serve you and support you– this feedback is incredibly important to us, and we take it seriously. Thank you again for your review– we sincerely wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors. --Aimee, Marketing Specialist
