Best thing
Pay.
Worst thing
Managers have a heavy focus on paperwork and how the statistics look instead of support workers spending their time with the service users, belittle staff when the paperwork isn't completed in their time frame and increase the level of stress that senior staff are under when already stretched by low levels of staffing and silly amounts of different paperwork
