Avoid - Consultant Inclusive Employers Employee Review

Most of members that you work with are absolutely lovely, and really care about creating inclusive workplaces.

Staff feel psychologically unsafe to share views or opinions which question the leadership, their colleagues or provide feedback in any way, as its taken as personal attacks on them, rather than constructive criticism as valuable feedback which could be implemented. On that basis anyone that doesn’t keep quiet either leaves or is asked to leave. Those people then have have their own personal brand damaged by messaging to members which is not true, in order to try and preserve Inclusive Employers already damaged reputation.  Financially: - No pay rises - No bonuses - Reduction in pay for existing colleagues, after restructuring the organisation due to their poor business model. Avoid working for this organisation at all costs!

- I was able to work with autonomy and contribute in ways that aligned with my strengths, even as the business introduced more structure. - The team was genuinely caring and supportive, especially during personal challenges — the kindness I experienced felt human and heartfelt. - I felt able to be my professional, authentic self with both colleagues and clients, which made the work especially meaningful. - Consulting with members and clients across sectors was deeply rewarding. Helping embed inclusion into strategy and culture gave me a real sense of purpose. - I had opportunities to influence wider business strategy and contribute to internal projects, which aligned with my leadership experience and interests. - My final line manager supported and appreciated me, while also constructively challenging my approach — it helped me grow and refine my practice. - Despite working remotely, I built strong relationships and felt my ideas were heard. The culture encouraged feedback and collaboration, which made a real difference. - Receiving positive feedback from clients affirmed the value and impact of my work. The relationships I built with members were a highlight of my role. - Even during restructuring, I found opportunities for learning, growth, and contribution. The pace suited my working style and kept me engaged. - The company genuinely strove to create an inclusive environment where people could thrive. - I was able to create balance and boundaries that supported my wellbeing, which made the work sustainable and enjoyable.

- During a period of transition and restructuring, some leadership appointments didn’t align well with the needs of the business. - In a small organisation, individual influence can have a big impact. When leadership lacked the right experience or alignment, it affected team stability — and I did see some talented colleagues leave as a result. - That said, by the time I left, things were improving. Leadership felt more grounded, and the business seemed to be finding its rhythm again. This is what my star ratings are based.
