Vantaggi
Colleagues at team level, particularly within service centre teams, are often supportive, collaborative, and committed to delivering high standards despite challenging circumstances.
Svantaggi
There has been an ongoing pattern of poor treatment of employees across multiple levels of the organisation, particularly over the past few months. Staff are frequently made to feel undervalued and, at times, openly criticised in group settings, creating an uncomfortable and discouraging working environment.
There is also a growing perception that certain individuals are being favoured or brought into the organisation through prior connections, while existing employees are not given the same level of support or opportunity. In parallel, some employees appear to be managed out of the business rather than developed, raising concerns around fairness and transparency.
Additionally, there have been instances where role expectations have shifted with limited notice or consideration for existing employees, contributing to uncertainty and added pressure.
There appears to be inconsistency in leadership approach, with a strong focus on upward stakeholder management, while engagement and support at other levels of the organisation are less evident. This contributes to a culture where employees do not feel equally valued or respected.
Combined with consistently high workloads and limited recognition, this has led to a significant decline in morale. The resulting level of staff turnover, including the departure of experienced and capable employees, reflects deeper cultural and leadership issues rather than isolated cases.
