We had some great products once, but ongoing underinvestment in people and product development mean we are now well behind the competition, with a staffing pool that is thinning in top talent. Paying below market rates hinders attracting new talent and so we find ourselves in a vicious spiral.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Recognizing talent, stop playing favorites, fostering a team environment instead of a culture of blame and retribution, paying market rate.
What are some of the best things about your team?
At the tactical level we are all one big family, which is a good thing given the shortcomings of middle management. We keep each other sane.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Refocus from attributing blame to finding solutions. Change from continually rewarding the Chosen Few to rewarding those actually making a difference. Change from a siloed organization to a more inclusive, diverse, team based one. Less "us and them" and more "we"
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Wages have fallen behind our competitors and HR is either not interested in keeping up, or they are using out of date/bogus data. We keep losing good people for higher wages elsewhere while our yearly pay rises do not even keep up with the cost of living.
