What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Communication of expectations with employees
Employee ownership should mean that rank and file employees have more of a say in the direction of the company. The leadership team needs to align the clients it pursues with its claims regarding sound science and environmental sustainability.
1) Not voting to terminate employees with 30 years of tenure during chemotherapy; 2) Stop promoting AI without extra training about its dangers, and drawbacks.
Ensuring that project level employees have enough hours to remain full time since we can not work outside of the company

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
SWCA still pays below market opposed to others.
There doesn't seem to be a clear path to getting a promotion.
Review from HR Dept
I feel salaries are lagging the actual economy, and do not seem right for my level of experience and responsibility. A raise of about 25% would do it.
I am not undervalued, but I do feel like I am being underpaid.
Rate of pay same after 2 years needs to increase

stress! too much stress! We have demanding roles and i don't feel we get enough decompression time or support in managing our stress. I would like to see a companywide stress management plan and program.
