    Employees at genU appreciate their supportive and dedicated colleagues who genuinely care about clients, and find working with people with disabilities to be rewarding and meaningful. Staff value the flexible working environment and the team support they receive from one another in their roles.

    Strong purpose, good people, and a leadership culture that consistently undermines both.
    The good thingsA team of supportive, dedicated colleagues who genuinely care about the people they support. Many staff bring significant expertise and experience, and consistently put client outcomes first despite the challenges they face.
    The challengesThe most significant challenge is the organisational culture at senior leadership level. The organisation talks extensively about psychological safety, transparency, and values-based leadership, however many employees experience something very different in practice. There is a noticeable gap between the organisation’s stated values and the behaviours experienced by many employees. Accountability is inconsistent, expertise is not always respected, and difficult conversations can become focused on protecting decisions rather than solving problems. As a result, experienced and capable staff frequently leave, taking valuable organisational knowledge with them. In a sector that supports vulnerable people, strong culture, governance, and compliance are not optional. Sustainable outcomes require leaders who listen, value expertise, and create an environment where concerns can be raised without fear of blame or retaliation.

    One of the worst places I've worked.
    The good thingsSome lovely people alongside me
    The challengesToo much to mention for too small a space. Severe lack of knowledge or understanding of industry regulations and requirements. Told what to do by people who don't know how to do it and ignore the suggestions of those that do.

    The worst workplace culture ever.
    The good thingsIt would be a nice to get some enjoyment from your work environment, but the only thing I have enjoyed is the minimal wage.
    The challengesTeam cohesiveness does not exist. There is a culture of "Blame" and lack of professional leadership.
