Time spent at HMM - Recensione dipendente - Event Director presso Human Movement

The office is in need of legitimate upgrade but it's not specifically horrible. Solid chance it isn't up to code though. Lots of quick fixes by unlicensed individuals. Hopefully the new office meets standards. Management is nearly nonexistent. It's a company that has made efforts toward a management scheme that spreads the workload evenly throughout the employees, given their "department", but that mentality leaves many employees much more run down than others. There isn't a foundation for the mentality to thrive. It continually fizzles out. Attempts to establish protocol and procedure have been made but the severe lack of communication and leadership from the owner tend to make it impossible for them to stick. This is mainly do to too much flip flop on decisions made by the owner. HR isn't worth commenting on. False promises from upper management and the owner are the most numerous numerous negative trait of the company. Lots of quick commitments that are swept under the rug or talked in circles. It's done with good intention but it should be left out. It produces high hopes that are then extinguished which then leads to lack of drive from employees. Very few employees actually care. Although all companies will have flaws, this is an easy one to fix by simply spending more time in preparation and thoughtful execution of what is said will be done. Way too much "cart before the horse" mentality. Employees are nearly worked to exhaustion, especially those on the ground at events. Travel isn't ideal but it's part of it. Could be mediated by hiring more men and women on the work force who are capable of managing the manual labor involved with event prep weeks. Many individuals have been hired to help bring on more events, sponsors, etc. but very, very few have been brought on to assist in the production aspect. A lot more work for the same amount of people who were already nearing max capacity. Turn over is quite horrendous. Very few of the original "team" are still present either due to their own fault, the owner making the call or voluntarily leaving. Most voluntarily leave or endure the knee jerk reactions from upper management. Organization of event infrastructure suffers due to lack of space and high turn over.
