What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Treatment of their staff and employees work life balance
Review from Operations Dept
Communication. Connecting with people to appreciate their lives experience. Reinforce that it's not just what you get done, but how it's done that makes people feel valued and part of a team.
communicating change, leading by example, not giving a golden handshake to the ELT members who drove the company into the ground
Anyone above the local management team
Promoting people that actually deserve it
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Leaders treated as first class citizens even when laid off they got better treatment than employees. Low stock sharing below director level
Comparable salary is 40% higher at other plants
The pension should be 50% better. Savings plans contributions by the company should be matched up to 10% of the employees.
Not about the money - more about the feeling about being a part of something special that makes a difference.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Coworkers were great, but most were recently laid off
Too many meetings. Too many participants in those meetings. Agenda not followed.
Coworkers are great all around
They are doing all ok.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
stop layoffs to improve employee moral
Let the front line workers have their time off, extra staffing if thats what it takes. Less forcing to work and compensated standby time or none at all
Review from Operations Dept
Trust and encouraging diversity. People do not feel supported and don't trust the executive team. Forget about them doing anything with the results from employee surveys
Attitude, compensation, culture, process and procedures, leadership teams, accountability
They should listen to the technical people
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
It takes absolutely forever to secure talent. Bureaucratic and many levels for approval from multiple groups to get someone approved for hire. Not unusual for 3-6 month process
Fewer behavioural question and more knowledge base questions. To much inclusion and diversity placed on hiring, not hiring best qualified
Review from Operations Dept
Lest red tape and more focus on completing the process in a timely manner
Give the questions ahead of time.
Review from Engineering Dept
Have the questions asked one on one.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Layoffs took out many highly qualified people and outsourcing of key groups had made the quality of work/relationships very poor
Low trust between groups, between teams, between employees and leaders - can improve by improving communication and working to effectively partner with outlined expectations. the current strategic direction of "winning" from the new CEO is not a strategy and people are not bought in
We are seen as cheapskates
Lack of a clear strategy to meet investors expectations
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
Increase pay to match inflation
