Thank you for sharing your comments. We embrace feedback even when it is hard to hear, and I’m sorry that your experience with us wasn’t everything you wanted.

OMNOVA has been a company in transition for the past several years. We’ve had a lot going on – fundamental changes in some of our served markets, moving our corporate HQ to Beachwood from Fairlawn, and a highly tenured workforce that has driven a spike in retirements, which are among the more significant reasons for employee turnover. While there is no doubt some of our teammates have been unhappy with some of the changes, the number of resignations by dissatisfied employees is a very small portion of that turnover, and much lower than what is generally considered normal.

Our new CEO recently conducted a global “listening tour” where she asked employees what was working, what isn’t, and what advice they had from her. This feedback included lots of great ideas on how to make our company a better place to be, many of which have implemented already. Additionally, our exit interview data makes it clear that while some employees leave due to dissatisfaction, the great majority would recommend OMNOVA to a friend or family member as a good place to work.

Thanks again for sharing your feedback and helping us improve!

We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that your overall experience working at OMNOVA has been positive. We welcome comments about areas where we can improve!

I’ve been with OMNOVA for a little over a year and have been recently promoted to an HR Generalist supporting the corporate headquarters. One of my primary responsibilities is the onboarding process, and my goal is to make new employee onboarding and orientation more efficient, productive and fun. We survey all new employees about their onboarding experience to monitor any improvements we can make, and the overall results are positive. When we receive ideas on how to do better, we work on implementing those to ensure we are providing a great onboarding experience. I’d be happy to hear any ideas you have on how we can do better – please stop by and share!

Thank you again for your comments.
