Healics is becoming a new company between the merger and acquisition a few years ago, becoming an ESOP recently, and new leadership. There are changes happening. If you like the status quo or a stagnant workplace that will just tell you what to do – this is not your jam.
Deep roots of a past toxic culture. Just my perception, but there was little psychological safety in the past creating distrust among coworkers and fear-based workplace culture. Again, just my perception, but some employees have been burned by that past and are struggling to find an openness for change right now maybe for the fear of being burned again. Just be prepared to take care of these employees and offer them grace for the past they have been through because they have fought hard to make Healics what it is today.
Cross-collaboration seems new to this culture, so it feels disjointed at times, but the need for it is recognized, and action is being taken to fix this.
