Blue Heron Support Services Association Employee Review

A great company who care about the clients they serve and their employees, a rewarding career

Community Disability Support Worker (Current Employee) - Barrhead - 11 July 2023

This organization has a great work environment, with many opportunities to learn and grow through their professional development program. Their benefit program is awesome with wonderful benefits such as a fully paid health and dental plan, paid sick leave/mental health days, a RRSP program, a Wellness program and more. The Leadership team ensure great support for the frontline staff in many different ways. Even if you are not satisfied with something, there are concrete policies and processes in place to ensure concerns are heard and addressed. There is a great sense of team not only in the program you work in but in the organization as a whole. Because services are provided 24/7 there is lots of opportunity for a variety of shifts as well as flexibility in your work schedule. This organization does so many things to help give back to the communities that support them and you can participate in these activities too. And best of all the individuals are wonderful people to work with

Pros

This work can be very challenging as well as very rewarding and is not just a job, it is a career, they help employees to grow into their career as much as they want to.

They offer and foster young peoples eagerness to learn and get into the field of work. They provide great compensation in the form of days off, flexibility, adaptability (often supported by great colleagues), extensive training and benefits! The team environment is fantastic, forward thinking, proactive and very encouraging. There are many opportunities to move up and follow further passions.

Micro Managing/Low Morale

Personal Support Worker (PSW) (Former Employee) - Barrhead, AB - 6 April 2023

Overall, organization is managed poorly and does not provide the adequate support and guidance necessary for the support staff to be successful. Staff are under paid and over worked. Management have unrealistic expectations regarding the current staffs work load and do not provide supportive mentoring or guidance. Management focuses on punitive measures if staff performance needs to be corrected rather than being pro active. Highly stressful environment with very low morale.
