What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Balance; understanding that employees are people who have families and are not 365/24 at the beckon call of the company; take a more moderate, middle road approach (diversity and inclusion efforts have swung too far to one side).
Recognizing a long term employee with great work ethic, production, and substantial proof of great customer service doesn't just suddenly become the plaque. Leaders create the norm. My leaders had no idea that guiding behaviors were for everyone - even the too rich white ones.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Some are picked and groomed or REALLY good friends and supported beyond the scope of fair. Others work their butts off and men or envious white women will do everything to smear your name at the company and beyond - even after they return - the hell that never dies unless you go to court.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Too many meetings. Checking in every other week is taking away from my productivity. There's no respect for the experience that older employees have. Look at the high rate of long-term employees that are quitting. Follow up with those people. Why are they leaving?! Hostile work environment.
Busy doesn't mean productive. Helping and mentoring would be nice instead of the HR director watching people squirm and then say they need work on compromising.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
From the top down, managers and supervisors lack empathy. They see their employees as cogs in a machine--produce, produce, produce more, more, more with fewer employees.
the executives and leadership should hold themselves to the same standards they hold other employees to
Picture of my last department - I was criticized for not putting the in/out dots in the center of the square. I was told it made our group look sloppy. After two years my manager swore I couldn't do anything right; I reconciled monthly budgets correctly, including documenting budget season revisions
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
i interviewed many years ago; the current process is slow but reasonable
Stop listening to others personal bias and look at a person from your own perspective and your own department agenda of what will create success. The need to like everyone and group think have got to go; along with busy and a messy desk are good.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
The company has been around over 100 years and has never had a non-white person in C-Suite. Talk to ex-employees around Portland and you will hear nightmare HR director stories that they won in court. A 100 yrs of tendrils underneath the system would need to be weeded and monitored for defamation
