What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Removing bad managers from management.
transparency, trust, listen and value employees
1. integrity - be honest. 2 respond to employee needs rather than lining your own pockets. 3. If you don't like the market you are in, then change your business model. Cut back on squeezing employees for margins. You might see better cooperation if compensation was improved.
Increasing the speed at which decisions are made to improve the organization and become more innovative.
Listen to input from employees. Realize you can't save and cost cut your way to growth. Understand happy employees = productive employees
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Competitive compensation would make this place better.
Bio-Rad does NOT pay the highest but nice place to work
Way below market pay. Benefits expensive.
I worked as an engineer and for being a women I was undervalued.
Review from Engineering Dept
treated like a commodity, added responsibilities and duties over spans of time, and no added title/compensation. Doing the work of 2 people. Earnings on the rise, yet annual merit was 2.5%. Turn over is high, morale is low. Management don't care, at least not care enough to take action.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
transparency, trust, badmouthing each other behind back, just a toxic environment
culture need to improve! meeting are not effective because groups are tying to off load their work to other groups. Pay is mediocre and there is always more to do than resources. High turnover, so much time/energy spent on-boarding and training, and then hiring again. vicious cycle of mediocrity.
Management meetings, many alphas and everyone needs to talk. few listen. Those who don't know tend to talk. Those who know, remain silent
Lacks cooperation and integration. New hires try hard but need coaching, which they don't get because their managers are talkers not doers
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
They need to follow their own values and build trust by valuing their employees properly. Stop quiet firing and letting talented people walk out because you are unwilling to pay them fairly. This entitled attitude certainly doesn't "build trust," to quote one of Bio-Rad's "values."
Develop employee engagement programs. Train executives how to support and retain their employees. Hold managers accountable for how they treat their direct-reports. Invest in training and development (and not just watching pre-recorded videos). Initiate a global corporate communication program.
open communication, trust and transparency. create culture of innovation
The leaders of the company are the ones that dont worry about anyone else, leaders need to thing more about employes
Review from Engineering Dept
Answer - a whole new management team! Integrity, respect is needed. The current lot is in it to line their pockets at the expense of employee satisfaction. Take a serious look at the pay structure versus the industry. If you pay middle of the road, then expect mediocrity. you get what you pay for.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
better skilled person need to interview
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
company can't innovate or execute in 21st century. Very lethargic CEO who just wants to control the company
change the manager of costumer service because he is not a good leader
Review from Engineering Dept
when you treat me poorly, then its just a job. As a job, i'm in it for the compensation. Like any job, you are paying me to be here and perform. If I feel underpaid, my performance will reflect that. when a large group of people feeling the same, across several levels, then mediocrity rules
