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.

Overall job was excellent, wage freezes and changes to management caused culture to fade.

Operations Manager (Former Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 3 February 2020

Workplace culture was satisfactory. Hardest part of job was dealing with changes in process and budget expectations. Learned a great deal over 20 years of management experience.

HEALTH CARE AIDE (Current Employee) - Downtown, M.B. - 31 January 2020

For me, my job as a Health care aide in WRHA is very fulfilling because of how we serve and care for our clients. We try to give our best to our clients every time we see them.

Nice company

Home Care Attendant/Direct Support Worker (Current Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 25 December 2019

Working with WRHA is great if you have the willingness to help other people and not just because you just want a good pay. No full time schedules but you can pick up extra hours if you wish. Benefits are not that great though.

High stress but very rewarding, never a dull day!

Visiting Nurse (Current Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 9 December 2019

Working in the community, you're always chasing the clock. There's never a dull moment as every client health status is different from another. Depends on what area you work, driving can be difficult. A lot of getting in and out of the car, parking can be a hassle. If you love wound care, this job is for you!

Unmanageable workloads, high stress, good pay and vacation

SENIOR ADMINISTRATIVE SECRETARY (Former Employee) - 496 Hargrave - Community Home Care - 30 September 2019

one of the biggest staff complaints during last contract negotiation was high workloads. Since then, the WRHA has been I the midst of a company wide health care change. Everyone I know has had their already overextended workload DOUBLED or more. This trend seems to be increasing, not settling. Loved my job when I first started, but last few years have made it an extremely stressful, toxic environment to work in.

Pros

Decent salary, good vacation hours

Cons

unmanageable workloads

Semi productive

Administrative Assistant 2 (Current Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 20 August 2019

Access Centers are more laid back than hospitals. A lot of the employees have an over inflated opinion about their productivity and would not be able to cope with a hospital setting where breaks and end results are very time dependent and crucial.

Accepting and welcoming no-nonsense work environment

Accounts Payable Data Entry Clerk (Former Employee) - WRHA Accounts Payable Office - 23 July 2019

WRHA Accounts Payable department is a hard-working office environment that is both challenging and welcoming. The staff take a "work-hard, play-hard" approach to daily activities that if you fit, you fit. Both the demands and rewards are high.
