Constructive Feedback From Illuminate Education Employees

  • What does the leadership team need to get better at?
    trusting employees, not micromanaging, listening, retaining and growing talent
  • What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
    The work culture has gone downhill significantly. There doesn't appear to be a clear direction from our senior leadership and we are starting to nickel and dime our clients. The senior leadership team continues to hire their colleagues from previous companies rather than growing talent from within
