The leadership team needs to reach out to lower level managers and find out what is actually happening in regional offices. There is a huge lack of communication between management and the people who do the majority of the deliverable work.
I think over the past few months, my team manager has realized the divide in the office and has had informal weekly team get togethers (with snacks) to try and get people to be friendly with people they may not be working on a project with.
In my particular office, there is a huge cultural divide. A good majority of the office is very cliquey and seems to exclude those who are not of their same background. This makes it difficult to work on projects as one unified team. I think this is something that team managers have to address.
The offices that are going after work and winning contracts are not rewarded with actually being able to work on the projects. Instead, once a contract is won, it is being sent to an office that "specializes" in that industry. It is frustrating to get excited about a project and see it go elsewhere.
