We welcome your candor and are appreciative of your feedback. As you might expect, great companies are not born, but instead, take a lot of work and dedication coupled with solid product and market opportunity alongside talented, passionate employees who feel accountable to the vision and mission. Jeff’s vision is for Auction to be a great company and although it is has been a journey, we just pulsed our employees across all sites with the Sirota Engagement Survey and the results highlight a few things that may be of interest.
First, 93% of our Auction team participated, an amazing participation rate that highlights how much our employees care about our work, our customers and our workplace. Second, our results (which we will unveil at our next company all hands), and the hundreds of write-in comments shed incredible insights on how we are doing, what’s important, and where our focus will be. As we type, our leaders are working with their teams to build a better Auction by working together and acting upon these insights. We were also extremely happy with the resounding feedback from our employees that they’ve seen tremendous progress in the past year and their excitement in creating the future of real estate is real.
While we understand you may not be enjoying your time here at Auction.com, our hope is that you address this soon with your leadership team or me. Disengagement at work is in neither the company’s nor the individual’s best interest. We also understand that Auction may not be for everyone, something we are honest about. We truly want employees who are passionate about, believe in, and want others they respect to join on our mission to provide the most trusted online marketplace that makes real estate transactions transparent and simple.
Specific to your concerns, here’s a few bullets that hopefully help but if not, email me and we can discuss further:
· Our Silicon Valley co-Headquarters hosts more than half our the CEO’s leadership team inclusive of our company President, Commercial Real Estate General Manager, CTO, CFO, and CMO
· We’ve built up both Human Resources and Talent Acquisition presence in Belmont now that our Silicon Valley team is at critical mass
· We actually have a great story to tell about career growth at Auction, which you can see in a previous post; but, we know that even though company stats might be great for trending, career growth is personal and something we are willing to discuss with you 1:1
Best,
-Chris Galy, Vice President at Talent
