TP Health Reviews

I was inspired to write this post after coming across another glass door review where the company proclaimed it was a fake review but as a previous employee I agree with most of the statements. By referring to it as a fake review team prevent are once again minimising the mental health of their employees - as an occupational health provider. I worked at team prevent because it was close to home and I needed money and at the start I really enjoyed my job. Team Prevent has a very “if you’re face fits” approach to their management. Staff with little experience were promoted quickly through the ranks because they were part of “cliques”. People were often given jobs that weren’t advertised. Staff who got on well with directors were favoured for promotional opportunities. I asked for unpaid leave but this was refused and shortly after senior directors were allowed months off at a time to travel the world. There are little HR services for staff to air their concerns, HR services are aimed at paperwork and requests over advice for work related or stress related issues. Management are unprofessional and issues would go unresolved. There has always been little trust in managers and there was terrible communication so concerns could not be raised. I felt very overworked with huge responsibilities, lower level managers suffered with this too so could do little to help improve working practices. I would not recommend this employer.

I thought I would write my account from start to finish of my experience and I am leaving some details out so I cannot be identified I am also encouraging my colleagues to share their views because I strongly believe Team Prevent need to listen and make some big changes as they have not done much as far as I can see to improve things. I am not just an angry employeee having a rant my views are constructive and honest and I am keeping my emotions out of it. I have been working as a clinician for a while for Team Prevent and at first it seemed like it was a good place to work. I had heard some colleagues complaining when I first joined but I thought I would give it the benefir of the doubt because most of what they were saying I had heard before in different companies I had worked. Anyway it was not long until I realisef that what they were saying was true but not only that it was worse! I really had my hopes up for Team Prevent becasue they promote themselves as a good employer with good employee relations but that could not be farther from the reality of it I do not think they actually care about their staff. Within days I was rushed through the initiation and thrown straight into working for a customer in a difficult industry I had never worked in before but that did not seem to matter and there was no induction given to introduce me to the customer which I thought was very bad practice. When I expressed my concerns I was told that’s just the way it is. I did not meet my manager until 3 months in and we only spoke once over the phone briefly before then. Throughout my time at Team Prevent I’ve been sent all over the place working for different customers sometimes on a daily basis and told to travel sometimes very long distances due to staff shortages. On numerous occasions I have only found out on the morning where I was going. As I have gotten to know my colleagues it has become very clear that my experience is the same for most people: Being left to fend for yourself Very little consistency in your daily routine and constantly working for different customers Everybody working to their own clinical standards with no uniformity or guidance When you need support it is not easy or clear where to find it Disorganised You never hear from management I tried to express my concerns to my manager but was more or less told that I had to get used to it or leave and was asked how did I think they felt having to manage everyone in such difficult circumstance with not enough staff and management. It has not got much better and I keep getting told that they will recruit more people but as soon as a new one comes two more leave. The only reason I’ve stayed is because I need the money I feel so let down and my mental health has suffered I feel like I am stuck in a rut because now I am so low I feel like I cannot do my job properly and my self-esteem is holding me back from finding another job. My only respite has come in the last months as workload has reduced so I am using this time to build my confidence back up and as soon as feel good again I am going to start looking for another job otherwise my mental health will not last much longer.
