What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Being a leader and working as a team
Communication is key to success
Acknowledging another point of view and not thinking they know everything!!
Leadership would be a decent start.
Pay the people who do the work more. And apologize for your COVID response. When the COVID pandemic started, an executive who makes six figures a year claimed her not taking a quarterly bonus was equal to hourly employees living paycheck to paycheck being furloughed for weeks at a time.
Review from Product Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I work in a condemned building with freezing cold temperatures outside in Nashville, Tennessee and the HR department does not care anything about their employees.
Health insurance is outrageous rediculious and unaffordable
Better comp and salary package
Wages were more or less frozen in 2006.
Stop under paying our skills and responsibilities becuase where i live.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Executive empathy toward all workers
Communication is non-existent. Most of the hardest-working employees were let go.
Management needs to learn what leadership is.
How to talk To someone and when you do something wrong how you fix not blaming others
No one cares and just look to move on.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Listen to the people "on the ground" and actual customers instead of basing decisions on a spreadsheet.
Improvement of company culture — currently company culture is lack of training and endless layoff
How to effectively manage Your work
Stability. Clear vision and product direction.
Management need to be better at their jobs.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Higher up in the company needs to have compassion
be up front about the grim future ahead
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Poor communication, decline in product and service.
Our readers don't believe our paper is even based in our community any more. And the company has gone out of its way to make that impression worse.
Review from Product Dept
Lack of leadership abs lack of a plan.
They lost track of what's important. They need to look deeper into customers
price is awful, service is awful, communication is awful
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
Larger raises to employees who produce excellent work. Too often those at the top of the pay scale are told the company cannot afford to give raises or more than 1-2 percent because it needs to use the raise pool to help lower-paid employees, who in my opinion do not do similar quality work.
Overall communication, not only between departments but on company goals as well
