Evonik Corporation Claimed Company
Evonik is one of the world’s leading specialty chemicals companies. We may not manufacture tires, mattresses, medications, or animal feeds, but Evonik is part of all of those products –and many more. While we often contribute only small amounts of material, those contributions are precisely what make the difference. That's because Evonik products make tires fuel-efficient, mattresses more elastic, medications more effective, and animal feeds healthier. That’s what specialty chemicals are all about. And when it comes to specialty chemicals, we're among the best in the world. read more
We have a talented and eager team, but the talent is being wasted by ineffective processes and made worse by conflicting messages from management as to our approach to following those processes.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
We need people in functional leadership positions that have at least some experience in the roles being managed. We need consistent application of policies and processes across and within departments. We need better training on functional/organizational policies that apply broadly within the firm.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
There is little cooperation between sites or work groups and central support departments. There is occasionally open hostility toward support groups. Our teams need training on central policies. Employees are working long hours and feeling burnt out with no rewards or suggestions to improve.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
We have put in many more hours than normal over the past 15+ months and allowed the company to exceed targets, yet have received pay increases less than the rate of inflation for two consecutive years. Many in my work group are showing signs of burnout, with no intervention by our management team.
