Grading MHSW the same as Canada’s "Top 100 Employers”
Report Card, Day 2

Work Atmosphere and Communication: F

Any remaining shreds of a positive work atmosphere result solely from staff supporting one another. Our social committee is entirely staff-run and staff-funded through voluntary payroll deductions; without our own financial contributions, there would be no budget for social connection.

When management communicates, it’s through long-winded emails that say very little and profoundly tone-deaf "positivity” slideshows in our daily briefing. While the annual long-service awards ceremony is a welcomed gesture, it comes with the demoralizing caveat that spouses and "plus-ones” are not invited, which hardly celebrates the sacrifices our families also make.

Between a record of gaslighting, unapproachability, and a lack of meaningful engagement, management has effectively abdicated its responsibility for workplace culture. For these reasons, we give Work Atmosphere and Communication a grade of F.
