Winnipeg Regional Health Authority Employee Reviews

The most enjoyable part of my job are my clients. Workplace culture, what is that??? Hard to say about workplace culture. They don’t care about us. The management is weak.

Staff were great

Production Supervisor, Laundry Operations (Former Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 2 December 2021

Found upper management took nepotism too far, filling important position with friends who were under qualified. This caused trouble in the general functionality of the workplace.

Pros

Stable hours - Monday to Friday

Cons

Extra unpaid hours, poor support from upper management.

Overworked and Underpaid

Health Care Aide (Current Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 27 November 2021

Poor Management, they really don’t have a clue what the staff deal with and don’t care about the clients. Their priorities are the little things you don’t do rather than the good you DO. Working 7-9 hrs and only getting paid for 5-7….no premiums for working evenings and lousy benefits !!!

Pros

None really…..private sector is better

Cons

Everything …..but helping clients is most rewarding

Great hours at first working casually

Unit Clerk (Casual) (Former Employee) - Churchill, MB - 18 August 2021

Working casually was great for the 3 years, it was almost a full time job until the WRHA revamped their whole system. First thing they did is get rid of all the casual workers. Another great thing was the work experience. They moved casual clerks to different departments and were trained in each and this was something I really enjoyed.

Pros

Being trained in various departments as a Clerk

Cons

The last few-months, rarely any hours

Stressful and political

Site Coordinator with Indigenous Health Patient Services (Former Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 17 April 2021

My biss was very political. Also every report I did I did not receive credit for it. We worked for an Indigenous department. The entire team was hard at times because of the lack of understanding of the culture and the communities.

Pros

Benefits

Cons

Political

No communication

Home Care Worker (Former Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 2 January 2021

Absolutely zero communication and it’s impossible to get full time employment which you need in order to make any money. Half the cheque is gone for union fees etc, you don’t make money unless you’re working full time so be prepared to work many years before you see any earnings.

It’s a job

Primary Care Assistant (Former Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 20 October 2020

A large entity gives you options to move but can be limiting due to circumstance. Working at different sites in different positions was challenging and rewarding but the messaging that comes from the executive level doesn’t seem to support inclusion, growth, equity. The pathway seems too narrow and the feel is like high school. Not all are of this mindset. There are great managers and directors there were also bad ones. Lost many colleagues with great skill and potential. Sadly the greatest compliment is to eliminate your supposed competition - employees or coworkers that do your job better - at any cost and squash what goes against you or the culture you promote. It gives benefits, stability-usually if that’s what you need then it’s for you. If you are looking for fulfilment and to change the world 🌎 don’t stay too long. This place will break you and that dream .

Pros

Building seniority, can move sites positions

Cons

Parking/Corporate Culture/Inequality in ethnicity for patients and employees

Scheduling clerk

Scheduling Clerk (Current Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 13 September 2020

Most stressful job i have ever had. Always short staff and home care workers. Expectations from manager is unreal.We come in early and leave late but still can finish our important task. A lot of backstabbing in that office. People test you when you are new just to see if they can walk over you or not. Mondays and Fridays are the worst days although everyday is crazy busy ( INSANE). WLRKE

Pros

Helping senors getting servcie

Cons

Stress, High expectations, No work/life balance, Pay

I absolutely adored my job. I hope to get a job just like this one again. I wouldn't have left. Communication is by far the worst aspect of this job.

Awesome place to work for.

Health Care Aide/Homecare Attendant (Current Employee) - St. Boniface, MB - 26 February 2020

I have worked here for 28 & 1/2 years and it has been an honour to work for them. I have grown, I have worked with all different nationalities and it has honed my skills at communicating. I have been repeatedly told by clients that I am patient, gentle and kind. WRHA offers courses in communication, palliative care, cooking for special diets and offer refresher courses. I am however ready for change

5 stars

Administrative Assistant (Current Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 10 February 2020

Working with nice co-workers. Working as a front receptionist. Answer phone and direct client to their respective worker. I learned to divide my time and be more patient. The hardest part of my job is when client is in a hurry to see their worker. The most enjoyable part of my job is when you feel that you help lot of people and you see the smile in their faces.
