I feel neutral about the CEO.

Advice to leadership: 1. Consistent Supervision and Training: Implement a structured and consistent supervision and training program for new employees, ensuring that they receive adequate support and guidance as they transition into their roles. This includes regular shadowing opportunities and ongoing feedback sessions to address any challenges and ensure alignment with organizational expectations. 2. Clear Communication and Expectations: Establish clear and transparent communication channels between supervisors and employees, including expectations regarding assessment processes, documentation standards, and performance feedback. Avoid condescending or sarcastic communication styles that may undermine employee morale and confidence. 3. Supportive Work Environment: Foster a supportive and nurturing work environment where employees feel comfortable seeking assistance and guidance when needed. Encourage open dialogue and constructive feedback, and address any instances of micromanagement or dismissive behavior promptly to maintain employee trust and engagement. 4. Responsive HR Support: Ensure that HR business partners are responsive and proactive in addressing employee inquiries and concerns, particularly during critical transition periods such as resignation or equipment return. Timely and empathetic communication can significantly impact employee experience and retention rates.

I feel my compensation was fair as a new counselor.
