Raffles Medical Group Employee Review

Decadent work process

Executive (Current Employee) - Raffles - April 24, 2022

Despite its MNC branding, the company operates similarly to an SME. Decision are very much Top down. Staff are often over stretch and overloaded with too much work.Little appreciation was given and effort goes unrecognised in the organisation. Workflow processes are also too complicated and complex, which requires much streamline. However, there will too many legacy issues and inter-deparment issues to resolve before any changes can be made.On the other hand, career advancement is pretty standard, andprogressive, loyalty towards company is valued, rather than work performance alone. Hence, it's suitable for employees who valued job stability, with a lower KPI. Salary is often benchmark lower than market rates, hence always negotiate for a higher salary before joining.

Everything Everywhere All at Once in a GP clinic

Pharmacy Technician (Current Employee) - East Singapore - April 11, 2023

Everybody does the same type of work (i.e. registration, dispensing) be it a nurse, PT or PSO. The workload is not evenly delegated among workers of the same rank. Lack of opportunities to learn new skills and knowledge to flourish in their domain except for the necessary skills (i.e. CPR/ AED, dispensing). Extremely long working hours rostered as day and night shifts, and sometimes, back to back. Colleagues are easy-going and help out one another in every way possible.

Good pay for hard workers

Vaccinator (Current Employee) - Raffles Hospital - December 17, 2022

A very professional environment that emphasize on top quality service but old-school top-down management style. You will be rewarded handsomely for working hard. However, as a human, it takes a toll on you and your energy. I often lose a lot of sleep if working back-to-back shifts and spend most of my weekends recovering it. Over-time tends to be the norm as the management refuse to hire the necessary employees in case of leaves, off-days or MCs. The management is highly profit driven so they will scrimp and save on various things, relying on pure effort from the employees. They management seem to have a conservative mindset like “it has always been this way and it works, no need for change” and is not keen to changing workflow even if it may increase efficiency.
