unnecessary stress - Recensione dipendente - Project Coordinator presso ScottishPower

Hello, and thanks for leaving us a review. It sounds like you were working in a pretty challenging project role, and I'm sorry you had a difficult time while you were here. It's hard to comment without specifics on this one, so forgive me for what will seem like a generic response: Some of our projects are tough. There is no doubt about it. The nature of what we do means that failure is not an option on a lot of our critical infrastructure projects, and we sometimes have to work to demanding timescales. Having said that, micromanaging people is far from helpful, and I'm sorry you sometimes experienced that. In terms of process improvement - YES - there does need to be more of this. We're part of a huge global business, which sometimes adds a lot of complexity, but we're definitely interested in finding ways to streamline things. Talent wise, we have a huge range of programmes and intiatives to help young people and women develop their careers: Apprenticeships, traineeships, Graduate Programmes, Masters Scholarships, the Returner programme for people re-entering the workforce after a career break, Internal networks, training... We do have a lot of contractors and they work side by side with permanent or fixed term employees, usually on a specific project. Tax rules like IR35 mean that our working relationship with a contractor can sometimes be quite different from a regular employee, and they may not be fully "embedded" in a team in the same way as SP people are. But we still value them enormously, and their expertise is a huge part of our success. Thanks again for the review. ^Katie
