A major leadership crisis in 2022 led to board suspensions and legal battles — a sign of deep governance failures that affected staff morale and possibly client services.
I’ve had some personal experience with GGzE and while their size is impressive, the bureaucracy can be frustrating. Appointments often take weeks to schedule, and communication between departments feels disjointed. For an organization handling thousands of clients, responsiveness matters, and here it sometimes feels like you’re just another number in the system
