  • Scott Haldane, the National CEO of YMCA Canada gets a full head of hair for the first time in 30 years, when he works in disguise in his own organization. But, as he meets his workers and gets to understand the realities of their working lives, he realizes he's also on a very personal journey of discovery.

    Best episode ever. Love the YMCA. Swimming lessons as a child translated to being a swim instructor there as a young adult. One of the few organizations that has it right. ❤️

    He kept saying "This would never have happened between the national CEO and frontline workers/volunteers"...I hope he realizes that he is creating his own boundaries and roadblocks there because CEOs CAN and SHOULD spend time with all levels of their organization. To lead, you must know how to be lead.

      XxSniperElite20 Civ-641, Right!? I thought about it, and realized that maybe if there isn't enough of a stump left, then a prosthetic has nothing on which to attach. The biggest flaw was Bob/Scott didn't do anything about the lack of a safety harness that he griped about while on the ladder adjusting the canvas teepee cover. As the COO, he has to dish out the bad, as well as the good.

    • @charlleedodson
      @charlleedodson 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You can’t just give someone a prosthetic. It’s a process to get it fitted. However, he could have donated money to get him a new prosthetic if he could.

    • @msjkramey
      @msjkramey 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Crow
      They shape the prosthetic to you, not the other way around and nothing is glued lol. You put it on when you wake up, take breaks as needed, and take it off for bed. It's like shoes--you even wear a "sock" for padding and to help with chafing

    42:40 If you want to truly make the sign-up process more accessible you would acquire some tablets that are connected to your system and then when someone comes in they can select their language and if they are blind they can have it verbally read to them with voiceover or talkback. If this was in all of the locations then no matter where someone goes they will be able to have the same equal access.

    Canadian YMCAs are so much nicer and built up than in the US!

    • @quickchris10comcast
      @quickchris10comcast 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      ? Where do you live/how many have you visited? We have some beautiful YMCAs in Minnesota. Back in the '80's, when I first started using the Y, it was a pretty old Y in Austin, Texas. So, maybe it's an older organization in the US, so the facilities maybe can be more dated.

    • @quickchris10comcast
      @quickchris10comcast 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Well, reading up on the YMCA on Wiki, it says that YMCAs opened both in Canada (Montreal) and US (Boston) in December1851. Actually, Montreal was first (Dec. 9,) and Boston Dec. 29. So, IDK. Canada's has had better leadership, apparently.

      It really depends where you live. YMCA depends on private donations and the support of local patrons to meet its annual expenses. The YMCA in Beverly Hills is super nice.

    It's too bad they only concentrated on 2 provinces. Also the YMCA talks a good game when it comes to involving frontline workers with getting to improve services but in my experience that wasn't the case very often. Still, all in all, I enjoyed my time working for the YMCA.

    They always freak out about people finding out they're wearing a wig, that millions of people wear everyday. or learning their real first name. Scott is a common first name. They probably had another Scott working there! He would of been better off to leave it be or use his fake last name. He wasn't going to hear Scott and think "Our CEO is named Scott! This is Undercover Boss!" I think it's more of a giveaway when they use the exact same cover story every time "A competitor on a reality show trying to find a new career".

      Not every reward needs to be out of pocket like in the US where, compared to the US canada has alot better healthcare and living conditions overall that you don't need to pay someone 25000 dollars jsut to cover medical debt etc.
      The fact that he brought the brother in is a huge gesture in and off itself.
