I believe that some people TRY to make things exciting at work, but there is a lot of negativity around which makes it difficult to have a good surrounding culture.
Listening to hear, not listening to respond. Solutions are offered for many things, but because it may not fit the mold at the moment, it's not listened to or it's just brushed aside instead of tried.
At Hotchalk, it's common for people to wear multiple hats. There are people that go above and beyond and always wear multiple hats, but nothing is offered to them. This is not the best way to keep good employees happy.
The team environment is not very great. There are always great people in the company, and I enjoy my relationships with them while I'm here, but there are a lot of people who would step on you to get what they want.
Again, I don't believe that the people who go above and beyond are properly valued. Everyone wants something different out of their work experience. For some, it's money. For some, it's time. Knowing your employees and what makes them thrive can go a long way.
