Healx Reviews

Culture is far too soft. Flexibility is often used to shirk. Sickness is barely recorded and nobody is held to account for anything, which breeds apathy and results in a hugely inefficient company that will likely never achieve its stated goals because many staff are just waiting for payday every month. Far too academic as an organisation with a university mindset, meaning that instead of fostering innovation, Healx has become a clunky and cumbersome place to work where people approach every task with endless theoretical procrastination but very little action. There are people who write the equivalent of a thesis or create endless leagues of meetings to discuss and decide on relatively simple things, all to avoid someone having to take responsibility and make a decision. There is also a strategic black hole within the leadership team at Healx. They seem incapable of actually leading and seem to believe that creating a strategy means putting a few headline items down on PowerPoint and then hoping that teams will come up with meaningful work to fulfil and deliver against that very high level strategy. A far more hands-on approach is required if the company is ever going to achieve its stated goals.

One or two toxic employees who think themselves as the OGs absolutely make it impossible for anyone make any effective changes. People who are willing to make changes have also been made redundant. It feels like it’s the pay instead of the mission that glues everyone together.
