Actions Speak Louder Than Words - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Purdue Pharma

What are Purdue’s values? A lot has certainly changed in the last two and a half years. New leadership, reorganizations, new corporate strategy, and talent strategy to name the obvious. What does the company have to show for this? Mark Timney is determined to move the company in a new direction. He has a commitment from the board to fund the new strategy in building the business through Licensing and Business Development and in bringing in new talent. Two and a half years in, where are the substantive deals? Have we really moved the needle on culture and talent? I think it is interesting to note that the talent strategy seems to be the answer to everything and billed as the company's new culture. Another reviewer called it “cult-like,” which is sadly a fair description. If you don't drink the kool-aid, you're shunned, treated so poorly you leave, or you're fired. A competency framework does not make a talent strategy, and I have never seen such a dysfunctional HR team. It's frightening to think that this is the group that is meant to foster and codify Purdue’s culture. Conspicuously missing from the talent strategy and values is anything that speaks to the company’s commitment to ethical behavior or in treating others with respect. Rather, it’s clear that some leaders do not have the slightest concern for how they treat others. In Stamford, we now have games that are meant to make us feel like we are working at Google or some other trendy place. Sadly, HR and senior management have neglected the basics of building a healthy culture and somehow think that empty gestures like this will make it all better. It’s insulting. So to summarize our corporate and talent strategy, it seems the emperor has no clothes. Just some slick powerpoint presentations and empty rhetoric. Actions speak louder than words. Many of those actions are ugly and hollow. And that is what Purdue has to show for itself.
