CHC: Creating Healthier Communities Reviews

If you’re considering a role at CHC, proceed with caution. While the organization’s mission appears noble on the surface, the internal reality tells a very different story. The workplace culture is marked by performative values and a deeply toxic leadership environment. The CEO operates with little to no accountability, making decisions that often feel erratic and self-serving, with minimal regard for staff input or impact on team morale. Concerns raised by employees are routinely dismissed or buried, and there is no effective system in place to hold senior leadership accountable for harmful behavior. Turnover is high, burnout is rampant, and psychological safety is virtually nonexistent for those not in the inner circle. Staff at all levels are expected to tolerate dysfunction under the guise of “resilience” or “adaptability.” Meanwhile, those who raise valid concerns or attempt to improve internal systems are often pushed out or sidelined.

However, the onboarding and training are lacking. You’re not clearly told what your daily role actually entails—there’s a lot of fluff around what you're going to be doing, and then you're just thrown into things, which was disappointing. The number of meetings is truly overwhelming. They schedule so many that you end up with little to no time to get real work done. It creates serious meeting fatigue. I was hired for a part-time role, but was expected to be available all day, which clashed with my other commitments. Clearer communication, less time spent in meetings, and better job advertising would really improve things.
