They hold meetings a couple times a year, with their production workers to give everyone feedback and to share new projects in the works and what to expect
Review from Operations Dept
Scholastic employs some of the most professional, educated, knowledgeable and kind people in the world. Scholastic is unparalleled in the area of teacher support and makes certain education is on the forefront of every decision. I love this company!
The thing that I like best about the leadership team is that they are always making and creating new ways to innovate the company to a degree that make all the employees very happy and they do it in a real positive way
Review from Sales Dept
Mission driven
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Communication, strategy, aligning resources more effectively.
Rehire a professional HR department outside of the company that will hire a qualified candidate for their positions. Make the work about production more and just show up less. Less strict on attendance and more strict on managers' training and working on the floor instead of walking around
Setting a vision and goals that are attainable. Understanding the inner working of each department, the tasks at hand and the need for proper staffing. Connecting the department to work towards and combined goal.
Being normal people and not robots
Treating employees like people instead of robots. Better training. Training is too short and rushed. Better support to employees on the floor.
Communication, planning, respect for labor
Care about their employees and give a clear direction
Review from Sales Dept
Less micro-managing of your employees (ie, "monitoring" phone calls without providing feedback) and more actual work of providing us with the tools we need to do our job.
Review from Sales Dept
They need to quit treating the warehouse employees like machines.
