Lloyd's Register Reviews

Pros

Industry Leader in the field.

Advice to Management

Provide more support to employees in the way of simpler systems.

Pros

What do I see as Lloyd’s Register greatest asset? It would have to be Lloyds Register Human Resources. They have great employee engagement programs. The HR group is consistent in providing programs to the employees; from work programs, health related programs and even personal well-being related programs.

Their Manager Coffee Breaks are always well presented and informative, although unfortunately, not well attended. I don’t think many of the managers realize the level of commitment our HR team has and the gems of information they have to share with us.

I have never attended a poorly presented training class. They find ways to make safety, managing diverse employee populations and even commercial awareness engaging and applicable.

Our HR advisors are available, patient and great mentors! They work incredibly well together and are excellent at covering for each other so there is never an issue finding someone to help on those special occasions when extra input or another point of view is sought.

I have read on this site that they do not take harassment/discrimination claims very seriously. As a manager, this has not been my experience. I have witnessed their due diligence on more than one occasion and found the investigations/outcomes to be thorough, fair and appropriate.

The benefits are comparable or better than other major employers in the Houston area. They bring in presenters for special lunch and learns on personal finance, healthy eating and other great topics. They also go out of their way to find special discounts for employees for a variety of items and services.

Our location has offered free chair massages; know your numbers clinics, yoga classes and numerous other health challenges to motivate staff. We’ve had office-wide BINGO days, International food days, department-to-department trick-or-treating and costume contests. Whatever they do - they do with creativity and enthusiasm.

Unfortunately, we are going thru a global transition implementing many new HR, Finance, and other software systems, so some hiccups/delays are surfacing and frustrations are pretty common right now.

Pros

Great pay and amazing benefits. MOST of the people you work with are great. opportunities for advancement are good as the company has many different business streams.

Advice to Management

Eliminate 3/4 of the VP positions. Run the companies you buy like they were ran Before you bought them. Moduspec and West are prime examples of 2 successful companies LR bought and then ruined.

Pros

Local office colleagues and culture
Benefits
Flexible working
Exposure to global projects

Advice to Management

You charge your customers premium prices for a "Rolls Royce" product, yet the company is still bleeding money. Could it be due to more hires in the executive suite than in the ranks? Or perhaps because you continue to implement terrible technology which is outdated and not "fit for purpose" (JDE, BOS, SAP, Lync)? Or maybe the new strategy is more talk than walk. Where are the LR values in the current way we work? It's starting to look better from the outside looking into LR than the other way around.
