Constructive Feedback From Hobby Lobby Employees
- What needs to change to make the company culture better?Better leadership training for TL. Establish transparent, easily accessible channels for employees to share their thoughts, concerns, and ideas without fear of reprisal. Default to transparency in sharing company goals, challenges, and progress.
- What does the leadership team need to get better at?Empathy for the associates directly under them. A better way to earn bonuses as upper level management, instead hugely connected to payroll (less spent on payroll = bigger bonuses for the store manager) the incentive is to keep payroll to the bare minimum to get the highest payout.
- What's going wrong and how can it be improved?Our management staff needs to be retrained. Treat us like we have no value.
