I’m sitting here in today town hall and the presenters are long winded. They are talking about things we’re currently doing versus what is new or improved. After a while I loose focus. This information could have been in our regular staff meetings. Cindy, James, Devon, Van, and Myron were amazing and you can tell they knew their business.

There’s always talk about safety but no one truly take it serious until something serious happens where someone gets hurt. Intake has “security” who’s always being pulled in so many directions and it’s unsafe. There’s all women in intake without any male staff back up. Intake needs security specifically for intake who’s not going to be constantly pulled in other directions. Many staff don’t feel safe in intake due to this. Nothing happens until something happens and it shouldn’t be that way.

All managers (CEO, Cno, nursing supervisors, schedulers) need training! No one here knows how to respectfully talk to no one. Those in authority simply DON’T care about the staff (mhts) The techs are the only ones who look out for each other. Very poor management skills, none of any of the supervisors will speak to staff when they see them, their attitudes is very uppity & all they care about is money. It’s very sad to work in a hospital & not care about the staff you hire. They have these annual “tech/nursing week” all that is offered is old candy like we’re 5 years old. Like what a smack to the face, a lot of good techs come in & go beyond their work duty, most have been spit on, hit on & talked to in a very demeaning way & the only thing these supervisors have to say is; where is your LBH shirt?!! There is NEVER No “thank you for coming in, how are you, is there anything we can do for you” You all want us to have empathy for the patients but where is that energy for your staff???? Very very poor managerial leadership. It’s only like 3 people in supervisor leadership who are great & I appreciate them so much, the rest is trash (sorry to say) the CNO hasn’t been helpful at all, you literally have to go to HR for any kind of resolution. You can’t expect the mht’s to be a way when all these managers/supervisors won’t lead the way. Do better or you all will lose All good staff, they are actually leaving slowly but surely

More monthly workplace violence meetings with staff outside of the monthly CPI refresher courses.Better communication from the new CNO, James, I know he is new in his role, but he has a lot of work to do to fix Sarah's problems she dump on him. We nurses feel that he need to rebuild our trust with our CNO. Erica need to focus on doing her job and not to be a supervisor when she not. Sarah gave her too much power.Just want our CNO to be more approachable and not always come to us when we do something bad.

During town hall it should be focus on new process. It’s too long and after awhile I lost interest in things that we already know.

I love the work that I do. The technology feels old but that's about it.I must admit I was here before Myron and Marissa came to HR and I loved the transformation that they brought with them from their previous work and what they do for lake behavioral hospital is nothing short of fantastic

I love my job and the people with whom I work. The only advice surrounds technology and AI. Using updated tools to provide better patient care is the direction Healthcare is taking, I don't want us to be left behind. I'd love it if we could be in front of the bell curve on AI.We are one of the few industries that focus on peoples mental health. I'm so glad to be here. The senior leadership is accessible caring and place a high priority on the quality of work.
