What makes you most happy at work?

The end of the day!

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

National Grid needs to start making changes that benefit their employees first and the rest of the world second.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Communicate with substance, not placating words: "thank you for all that you do"...seriously?! Stop with the favoritism and truly recognize those doing hard work, not just those of the approved gender, race, or orientation.

What would you improve about your company's interview process?

Enough of the bologna HR questions and focus on peoples skills and qualifications. Provide a level playing field for candidates and don't simply interview to meet "regulations" when you already know some has been picked for the job.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

National Grid compensates people starting at 85% of the market reference point, which is a joke. I'm sure if I gave them 85% effort it wouldn't be appreciated! People with many years experience outside of National Grid are not compensated as well as those that have only internal experience.
