Too many changes, no leadership

Pros

We have a lot of people with significant insights that could help position PL for continued growth in serving students with disabilities. We are always trying to improve the experience for providers to ensure that they are having the most engaging and satisfying experience.

Cons

There are people running pilots that have no experience managing that many moving parts. This lack of experience and expertise is resulting in confusion, frustration and people reaching their limit. Our "leaders" are too busy with their PhD programs or writing books to care about the impact all of these constant changes are having on the people doing the work.

Thank you for your feedback. No matter how well planned, strategic, and intended, Pilots are known to come with some fear and concern. However, it is why we are intentional with the Pilots we launch and is also why we believe that launching pilots to test our hypothesis before making significant organizational changes is essential. We also pride ourselves in developing and expanding the skillsets of all employees. We foster a continuous quality improvement model of development and empowerment for our employees. We celebrate effort and sometimes even failure as we know that to gain experience, we must trust our employee's abilities, resourcefulness, and will. Additionally, here at PresenceLearning, we believe that our employees are more than just the work they do. They are individuals, and we believe this individuality drives diversity in thought and, ultimately, it is the innovation from our employees that allows PL to thrive. We know that our employees are multifaceted and have a passion for things outside of PL. We are intentional in creating a culture where employees feel good about bringing their authentic selves to work. This is why we celebrate our individuality and talk about it at work! Whether it is achieving life goals of obtaining a Ph.D., writing a book, playing in a band, training for a marathon, or getting a new puppy, we will always proudly celebrate our people's many milestones and achievements.

Pros

Great mission! This is why I accepted the position.

Cons

Sink or swim mentality. They did not develop their people. This was with the prior CEO. I cannot speak of their current leadership. It appears most of the toxic people are now gone.

Thank you for your feedback. We can’t speak to your specific experience at PL three years ago; however, during our most recent employee engagement survey, we recorded our highest employee engagement score since the inception of the survey 5 years ago. More specifically, our management team specifically received exceptionally high scores. We are and will continue to cultivate an environment of innovation, inclusion, and a sense of community at work.
