Pros

It’s a name that has heritage. Huge potential. Some great people in it. Unique capabilities which could lead to new developments.

Cons

Management overload. Constant micro management. No focus on future or investment plan and huge levels of job insecurity. A senior management team that patronises yet seems incapable of achieving anything. Constant internal campaigns trying to justify why they are making so many people redundant. Nobody knows what they are supposed to be doing.

We acknowledge and recognise some of the behaviours that you have highlighted in some parts of the business and this is why we have invested heavily in listening to our people particularly through the roll out of Peakon along with continued training for our managers through MDP and Enabling Managers Training Programmes. We are ambitious and see the same huge potential that you have correctly identified and are determined to improve and address our shortcomings so would welcome the opportunity to discuss your specific concerns directly if you feel comfortable. Thank you again for your time.
