Is it just me or does UHC seem like a different company compared to 1-2 years ago? Total opposite of how it was in the past. Nothing but negative feedback and isolation. What happened to the employee engagement efforts? Does anyone work in a department that still puts in effort and cares about their teams?

I loved and was so proud to say I work for UHC. Around Sept 2018 it seemed to go downhill. I keep telling myself I am luck you to find a job that I work from home. It seems like that is not even helping now a days. I hope tomorrow is just another day for me , who knows. I just think those who are still here at the end of all of this are NOT the lucky ones. I get more and more stressed out every time I hit the power button to start my day.
I almost made it 3 years...September would have been my 3 rd. The caseload and most of the female lifers made my job , at times, miserable; but quit last Wednesday !! I noticed that the atmosphere definitely changed after they announced IEX back office and the new auditors...Then the results of the survey came out ( and they were bad) then they hit us w/ the layoffs...so morale was bad
Because my manager was upset about the results of the survey (I think 9 people total from both of our teams took the survey) and she let us know how angry she was about the results. Given her reaction, & the fact that the survey IS NOT anonymous, I advised her that I wouldn’t be participating in another survey again; and it’s too bad that employees do not have a real platform to voice their opinion.
I have been an employee for three years and the engagement and atmosphere has completely changed. We used to do fun little events and the leaders used to make it seem like we were more than just numbers. Not anymore.
Employee engagement and vital signs etc... has always been just for show. It's a tool uhc uses to show the industry that it's so "transparent " and that it really cares about its employees...blah blah blah.... in reality nothing is further from the truth. Uhc is basically an illusion about caring, employee engagement, corporate leadership, etc... just read these posts or talk to employees and you will see what uhc really is. Uhc makes money. For itself and the stockholders, PERIOD. They dont pay claims correctly, the provider community hates them, the employees hate them, the managers, supervisors and directors etc... are ineffectual and unprofessional. The workers do more with less training, less pay, and the constant spectre of layoffs or termination hanging over their heads due to unreal metrics expected from them.
Well, if these so called “leaders” (as they demand to be called) knew how to effectively run a business none of this nonsense would be happening! Looks like a lot of wasted money on those “degrees” SHAME ON YOU LEADERS
Take a look at the latest employee survey. It’s about inclusion and culture. “Only a select group of employees will be chosen to participate”. That tells me all about their thoughts of inclusion. The minute they stopped using a third party vendor; It was to control the outcomes of these surveys. UHC is becoming a sad joke
So they even do the cultural sessions anymore? I did mine in the spring of 2019 and actually liked it.
Employee engagement activities take resourcing and time. As staff to supervisor ratios have shot up most departments can barely keep up so there’s no room for “extras”. :(
Agree, the culture has completely changed in last few years
