Thank you for your feedback! I am glad to hear that you appreciate our internal communication – this has been something we have worked really hard to improve over the last 12 months based on feedback from our employee survey so it's encouraging to know that we are moving in the right direction. I take your concern about the hiring process for middle managers seriously. Ensuring that we have the right people in place is crucial, and we are continuously working to improve our hiring practices to ensure they are fair and that thorough checks are conducted. If there are any specifics either HR or I should be made aware of, that would help us continually improve in this area, please do get in touch. Nick Wilson, CEO

Pros

The only pro is the remote / hybrid working.

Cons

I could write a lot on this, but the two biggest challenges within the company are: 1. Disorganized processes and slow decision making. Operations felt chaotic, more like the downside of a start-up than the upside. Decisions moved slowly, inefficiencies were everywhere and few people seemed empowered or accountable to fix them. The technology, infrastructure, and ways of working often felt outdated and unnecessarily manual. 2. A People team lacking credibility and capability. From leadership down, the People function appeared out of depth. Initiatives such as career frameworks and progression tools being introduced felt more like surface level exercises than meaningful strategies. Despite the talk of being “people focused,” the execution of any initiatives lacked clarity, consistency and genuine understanding of what employees actually need.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m pleased our remote / hybrid working suited you, but I’m sorry that other aspects of your time did not meet your expectations. We recognise that some of our processes and tools have been too manual and slow. As we integrate our group of companies into one organisation, we’re investing in clearer processes, better systems and sharper ownership so decisions move faster. You’ve also raised concerns about our People team and career development. Our career frameworks are currently in the design and build phase to create greater transparency, with a communicated deadline of the end of our financial year. Alongside this, we’ve introduced Development Planning, Squiggly Careers training and toolkits, and a mentoring programme to support colleagues with their career development. We appreciate your honesty and will use this feedback as we continue to improve. Tanya
