GKN Leadership Employee Reviews

What do you like best about the leadership team?

They are awesome and they rock

at this moment not much

Review from Operations Dept

I have never ever seen so excellent team again.

Nothing honestly, i cant trust them to tell me the truth on virtually anything

The transparancy, communication and the actual personal presence with the team.

I feel safe, valued and respected

Support for our local plant

Not sure seem to have to much on them hard to tell

I think they can be out of sync with us some of the time because they don't spend enough time on the floor. They are usually hidden away upstairs

Review from Operations Dept

can only speak for the Dutch and i appreciate the way they know how to listen en talk to employees on an even level

Review from Operations Dept

The openness and willingness to listen to new ideas

Review from Operations Dept

Always willing to help when you need something and nice

Review from Engineering Dept

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Working with experienced operators when setting up new operations to ensure more efficient operations. Also better training of compaction setup and operations. Internal communications between shifts seem to be sketchy.

Everything people less bullying and

Flowing down clear direction and delegation of tasks

seeing what's really happening on the site instead of looking out of the window

Engaging with & listening to Employees that know their job

Human Resource Department is the worst of all the companies I have ever dealt with or worked ar.

Cohesion, transparancy, responsibliy, accountability and coordination

The Leadership Team needs to work on listening to employees, stop "checking the box" for the different initiatives that are rolled out, and do them correctly. Invest money in things that actually matter, why is a lot of GKN still using paper Work Instructions and Paper Routers and not a MES system.

Review from Engineering Dept

Training and scheduling at work

Review from Operations Dept

Actually learning how to lead people. They tend to not be knowledgeable about the business so they make horrible decisions and never seem to be able to provide clear direction.

Quality control check and laziness

Fairly treat employees the same

Review from Operations Dept

Terrible, terrible move to bring a group from lost business as "directors" of new geographic locations.

Coaching/mentoring, leading staff to the next higher level.
