Glenwood Home staff rally to address health and safety concerns and bullying culture
Glenwood Home staff and supporters rallied on Wai-Iti Rd to voice concerns about health and safety issues and a bullying culture at the aged care facility. They called for an independent investigation, stating that previous attempts to address these issues had failed.
The rally included current and former staff, residents, and union members, who expressed their worries through placards. Participants highlighted the negative impact on both staff and residents, with one resident noting a decline in the home's atmosphere.
Concerns were raised about inadequate staffing levels, which participants believe could lead to serious problems. Staff reported feeling pressured, with reduced hours and management fostering division among team members.
