Add more staff each unit to promote safety

Question 36 is not set up to select all that apply. So I was unable to also select every other option as all types of discrimination have been personally observed here. I believe that there are many areas that could be improved upon. Primarily, there should be a preceptor pay and designated "trainers" that really need to be coached on training methods and what needs to be trained. This is our biggest gap. Communication could also be improved upon with regular zoom staff meetings and monthly newsletters.None

Upper management should encourage and facilitate communication between departments.Bad employees should be fired not just allowed to be inadequate

Better communication between all departments and staff

The hospital lacks accountability at the leadership level. Leadership is allowed to get away with anything and gets brushed under the rug. We need to address the culture here , its too negative and affects the mood of everyone including the patients. The doom and gloom just feeds off everyone here and it makes it hard to be positive. Its insulting when admin is constantly catering food multiple times a week but we are cutting costs and being told we don't have enough the budget for it.N/A

SecurityBetter selection when it comes to selecting applicantsAbide by the secondary review listBonuses come backProper training for staffProperly staffedStaff are injured everyday because of lack of consideration of the acuity certain patients needIntake is forced to accept patienrs that not even the highest acuity unit can handleHospital puts in weight limits but will accept patients way over that limitAccept patients that are medically not cleared to be in this hospital or perform ADLS on their own and that takes time away from other patients

Need more staffing

Pay needs to improve. Not competitive with other psych facilities. Increased compensation for ones with psych experience. Don’t low ball people with experience to try and get a lower rate. You get what you pay for if you try and hire the cheapest personWe need better supplies that are organized. It’s ridiculous trying to open unit drawers to find a pen, post it, flexipen, etc. unit office supplies need to improve

Better pays and/or raises. If there was good starting pay, I'd be more inclined to redact that statement; but at this time for my job the median pay in Washington State and in the US my pay grade at SPBH is on the very low end. Then with some investigation and research on my own end, raises here are seldom. With the cost of living going up and WA being one of the most expensive states to live in, I feel that raises should be offered more than once a year and even if that, I've spoken to some employees inside and out of my department who haven't received a raise and they have been here far longer than I have. Raises are like an incentive to do better and to go beyond of what you're asked but when you're already doing that, like I am, it's hard not to "act your wage" when there's no incentive to work towards a higher dollar. I am constantly being told how good of a job I am doing but when my pay doesn't reflect my work ethic it makes it hard to want to continue to go above and beyond. And if not, I believe it is fair to acknowledge things along the pay/raises/scale on the job description, so future employees know what to expect.
