Inspired Learning Group reviews about "staff"

- Annual Leave ( will sell you 28 days but these include bank holidays and 5 days when closed over Christmas) so only 17 chosen days throughout the year.

Lack of face to face support from Head Office. Appears as though HO is only interested in profit and doesn't consider the needs of their staff.

ILG underpay all their staff by as much as they can get away with. This is facilitated by not producing a contract until after you have already started, with a raft of excuses until then. The head office staff are aware of underhand practices in the individual settings but lie to staff about them not taking place or actually being industry standard. Head office staff in charge of payroll and pension do not understand the area they work in properly and merely apply a computer program - it has been known for pension payments to not be made until the staff member queried where they were. There is a total lack of resources meaning that staff have to use their own underpaid earnings to be able to do the job properly. Staff are only paid for 3 days per year if they are sick. Parents and other stakeholders are routinely lied to, eg regarding health and safety matters, and environmental health are regularly unsatisfied by the state of the premises.

A great company who makes staff members feel respected, valued. I can't find any ......

I cant think of any at the moment.

I have not experienced any downsides.

he CEO initially comes across as a genuinely great person — someone focused on providing excellent opportunities for pupils and their families. Unfortunately, that perception quickly changes. Like any business, I understand that profits need to be made. However, it should not come at the expense of staff wellbeing and, ultimately, the children themselves. Pay and benefits are not competitive, and the holiday allowance is particularly poor, especially for early years staff. It is no surprise that staff retention is such an ongoing issue. While the organisation can be supportive at times, this is also one of its biggest weaknesses. Poor communication, lack of respect, and an often dismissive attitude towards hardworking employees have resulted in many loyal and dedicated staff leaving the organisation over the years.
