A sign outside of the Health P.E.I. office on Charlottetown’s Garfield Street. - Stu NeatbyAn outside agency completed an examination of Health P.E.I.’s human resources division in December, which included consulting staff about what Health P.E.I.’s CEO described as a “difference of opinion” on the direction of the department.
Health P.E.I. CEO Michael Gardam said he could not talk about the reasons why HR Atlantic was called in because of confidentiality. The firm HR Atlantic completed a workplace consultation with staff in Health P.E.I.'s human resources department in December 2022. The report, obtained by SaltWire, is heavily redacted. - Stu Neatby - Stu Neatby
Close to half the nurses interviewed described Health P.E.I. as a “toxic workplace.” Some described “bullying behaviour” toward staff. Staffing shortages, high workloads, inadequate pay, the pressures of the COVID-19 pandemic and denial of vacation requests were also cited by some as reasons for leaving.
Gardam said the redactions were completed by Health P.E.I. staff. He said he, not politicians, signed off on them.“They're heavily redacted because they have to be heavily redacted. Because otherwise, you'll never do one again," Gardam said. This strategy, prepared by HR executive director Tracy Wolbaum, outlines measures to “promote a safe, healthy and positive workplace.”
