Bud Reviews

Thank you for the honest and direct feedback on how you’re finding working at Bud. From what I’ve digested there is an overarching sentiment that we seem to know what we need to do, and even say the things we need to do, but don’t always take steps to actually do it. From what you’ve said I’m hearing that we need to take bolder steps in putting into practice what we preach. We have started to do this and will continue to as we grow. Historically, we haven’t had channels for feedback within the businesses - we have now made steps to solve this issue and will be launching Peakon this week to allow for more regular feedback loops to surface issues and solve them much faster. The concerns you have about leadership and vision seem quite meaty and I would encourage you to use this platform to share specific problems and any suggestions. Alternatively, if you feel comfortable you can always email me directly. You’ve raised some points on pay and recognition which I want to respond to. Pay - We know that as part of scaling and remaining competitive we need to get this right and put in some frameworks to keep things consistent and fair. The people team have been working on this for the last few months and we hope to have more information to share in the coming weeks. Recognition - We don’t want anyone to feel undervalued or under-appreciated and we know that recognition will vary from person to person. It’s something we are building on and we are sure the insights we get from Peakon will help to shape this. If there are ways that you think we can solve this sooner I would encourage you to share your thoughts with us. We’re a rapidly growing company, and we won’t always get it right and knowing where we are getting it wrong is just as important as what is working really well. Hannah
