8y1) Sandra Yancey is loved by Managing Directors, Members and Staff. She has been awarded as a CNN American Hero. Work life can be intense in a small, dynamic company but she is not cold.
2) Teamwork to make the dream work through respect, cooperation and accountability.
3) It is illegal not to pay an employee. All records indicate (via audits) that all employees of eWomenNetwork have been paid on time based on their employment contract.
4) Revenues come from membership and services. Managing Directors and our website bring in memberships. All other services are sold by Sandra and Kym Yancey. No other employee is required to sale or provide financially for the company. The employees of eWomenNetwork serve our Managing Directors and Members as well as external services. Every employment contract states this.
5) Respect and transparent communication guided by the rule of good intention is one of our values. Anything brought up to the executive management team is addressed.
6) We have very long lasting employees ... more so than most small companies. There are certain positions that turn over quicker than others primarily because there are salary maximums to positions.
7) Work life balance is important. As a small company, roles can sometimes overlap to help the team. Employees who request exception for family situations have been acknowledged and flexibility has been granted.
As for you Advice to Management:
1) Sandra Yancey wears rollers to staff meetings. She kicks her shoes off and helps prepare for conference. She tears up with employees move on to new jobs because we all work so close together. Kym Yancey has the worst goofy jokes ever as well as constant puns. They are laid back most of the time.
2) All positions require an SOP. It is the responsibility of the person in the position to update the SOP's. Most staff always "jump in" to help any new person.
3) There is no company anywhere that has a perfect work environment where all employees get along and love working with each other. Personalities sometimes conflict. We work hard to resolve issues.
4) When an employee has a review, what they would rather be doing is taken into consideration and many instances can be proven where jobs were shuffled to accommodate someone who would rather be doing something else. This is a small company and there are not a lot of positions to "move into".
5) Incentives are subjective and it's hard to please everyone. Your feelings are noted.
6) All new employees sign an employee contract that states requirements for our Annual Conference. It is noted and everyone knows that Conference is our superbowl and employees are expected to work overtime one month prior to conference and not take vacation. Most employees are salary and those who are not, only work longer hours if overtime is approved. Salary employees receive an extra day off after Conference on a designated day.
7) See response above.
8) We are sorry you felt there was an environment of degradation. It isn't ever the intent of eWomenNetwork. We want to always be a professional organization that fosters integrity, honesty and trust.
9) Services needed by the company are offered along with a payment price. Contractors can accept or deny the proposed work along with the amount paid. Most companies do their best to keep cost in check.
10) eWomenNetwork is one of the lowest priced Conferences of it's size in the nation. We will not apologize for the exceptional Conference we provide for those who want to learn and expand their business. All forms filled out to attend Conference state there is no refunds however, the eWomenNetwork does allow someone who has paid and cannot attend to roll over their payment to the following year one time.
11) It is not expected that extra time be devoted to eWomenNetwork after 5:30 pm except 30 days before Conference. If an employee works longer hours, it is their choice and if they do not feel that it is their choice, a conversation needs to take place regarding the work load and time management.
