LETTER: Concerns Regarding HR Practices and Professionalism at SLBMC

SLB-MSJMC

Dear Editor, 

As an employee who has witnessed and experienced the internal workings of the organization for quite some time, I feel compelled to raise a series of concerns regarding the current state of the Human Resources department at SLBMC.

These issues not only affect employee morale but also the professionalism and ethical standards that should be upheld within the hospital.

First, there is a noticeable lack of transparency and merit-based decision-making within the HR department. It is troubling to see positions being filled based on personal relationships rather than qualifications or experience.

The practice of promoting individuals simply because they are “friends” with the HR manager undermines the credibility of the department and raises serious questions about the fairness and professionalism of the promotion process.

When qualified individuals are overlooked in favor of those without the necessary qualifications, it sends a message that hard work and dedication are not valued.

Furthermore, there is a pressing concern about the overall effectiveness and purpose of the HR department. The addition of new staff members to HR, while intended to improve operations, has not resulted in any noticeable improvements.

The existing problems, including a lack of clear communication, poor handling of internal conflicts, and inefficiency in addressing employee concerns, continue to persist without resolution.

Another issue that needs immediate attention is the absence of a consistent dress code policy. It is disheartening to observe that certain administrative staff members are allowed to wear revealing attire without any repercussions. 

This not only violates basic standards of professionalism but also creates an uncomfortable work environment for others. A clear and enforceable dress code should be established and followed by all employees, regardless of their position.

There is also a growing sense of frustration among staff who feel they are being denied opportunities for growth and advancement. 

Employees who have dedicated years of service to the hospital are often overlooked in favor of those with little to no experience in the field. Many are left wondering why positions are being filled without proper advertisement or internal promotion opportunities.

It seems as though only those who align themselves with the HR manager are granted opportunities for advancement, while others are left stagnant in their current roles.

This creates a toxic culture where loyalty and hard work are not recognized or rewarded.

Finally, the confidentiality of employee matters is a significant concern.

HR should be a trusted department where sensitive information is kept private, yet it seems that personal matters and internal discussions are being shared openly, further eroding trust and morale within the hospital.

  1. This reminds me of the Antigua and Barbuda water-down Immigration Department, where you have to be a news carrier, friends with the top, and a BIG SUPPORTER OF THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT to get a promotion.

  2. This sounds like health center. Having qualified workers and the dutty chief won’t promote them cause they ain’t gossiping about others to her but God nah sleep 🙃

  3. The problem is, people are afraid to voice there concerns, because when they do they are being victimized, this place is corrupt, a lot of conflict of interest, but life is short.. keep doing the right thing, and you will be rewarded by the most High🙏🏾..

  4. R u think God a sleep, r we go blast you til you resign, get fired or do the right thing. Pick ya pot. We really prefer you do the right thing. JUST DO THE RIGHT TING.

  5. This is not just a SLBMC issue never the less what will the administration do to correct problems like this?? turn a blind eye most likely nothing ever get resolved when bosses them self a the one promoting nonsense so who can we really turn to. Also speaking out in meetings makes you a target

  6. Eh eh. The people that work dey and complain a da same set that cannot for dem life send one proper email and will embarrass the hospital daily with dem terrible customer service skills. As fu me granny woulda say.. if you nuh like um, lie dung side um..

  7. In this work place it’s friend and company get u places. All down to the fat red skin one in HR feel like she has arrived and full of herself. Plus all the others in the batch last n full a them self it’s like if the head of HR say so they all do no one says let’s think it over.
    They always having monthly functions in the dept instead they make it be a full hospital function to bring unity.

    When you go to HR nothing stays confidential.
    U here it outside before u even leave the dept.

  8. Tuku Tuku u sound so tink. You haffu be dem friend. If you were over looked, you wouldn’t talk so. But you a one with ya bread butter. Dem wrong, plenty intelligent people til get over looked just cause dem na friend up with hr. R u day can’t tell r u friend dem wrong, full a faeces. So much people can jealous or you dutty friend ha one problem? Shut ya scnt

  9. Nepotism & favoritism seems to be a disease that is prevailing the public & government sectors.

    The modus of operation by those in the hierarchy seems to be “come sit, drink and bring news to me and you will surely get your bread buttered.

  10. This letter screams malicious intent! Pointing out the HR with these constant lies. But wait… it’s funny how nobody talks about the illiterate, ghetto manager in outpatient with no top teeth, she can’t string two sentences together. That’s the kinda people yall want a HR manager to hire?

    Plenty aryu dry mouth baxside under ya ah chat and can’t count, spell or talk properly. SERVE ARYU Mumma.
