What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Responsible and care. Pay increase for hard working employees
Listening to customers and employees.
Listen to the machinist. They point out the problems but nothing gets done.
Understanding the needs and issues at the facility level vs demanding for results without resources, manpower, or tools which is sets people up for failure and shows how out of touch leadership can be
Valuing their employees who deserve to be valued.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Raises were promised after 90 days and that never happened
NOV is a good opportunity for experience up to a certain point where you're wearing multiple hats and performing the work of multiple people. Rather than provide adequate compensation matching the market for that experience, they continue to give good workers more work.
I am undervalued by over 30%.
Been doing this work for 32 years, an young guys just starting in the oilfield making more than the older guys.
Workloads have doubled with zero pay increase
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Coworkers are fantastic. The problem is management
Stop worring about what everyone is doing and do you job. Get rid of the bubble gum and the magic carpet.
Investment in development of personnel, raises for those who meet certain milestones during (mandatory scheduled) performance reviews or X amount of years and review of responsibilities. Mgmt should be reviewed by employees to see opportunities for improvement in terms of support and communication
better moral from better pay
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Better work life balance and less meetings
Leadership should actively work to visit sites and push for actual feedback from employees at the local level. Surveys only provide an idea of what they may want but employees invested in their work environment can have valuable input on the business if asked
Change of leadership top down.
New management who are passionate and dedicated
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
They promise you a raise after you are hired full time and they dont deliver
Be nice if they asked relevant questions about knowledge and explained more about the job
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Out of touch leadership. Employees being asked to do multiple jobs with no increase in headcount / resources and assuredly no pay increase unless they get a job title change.
Company needs to focus on late deliveries and the reasons behind it.
Consistency in how people are measured, too much left up to interpretation
The atmosphere is Dreadful, communication is non existent from management. Honesty and clear communication is needed top down
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
Listening to employee feedback and leadership showing significant changes to help depts and employees be successful rather than moving leadership positions back and forth
