CEO Has Ruined Company; Terrible Culture

CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Great products that help improve patient lives.

Cons

• Company growth plans lack substance to actually achieve results/goals. It is smoke and mirrors. • Company is crumbling from the inside as a result of poor leadership from CEO and Board of Directors. Executives out of touch with the running of the company. • Culture is toxic. People are afraid to raise their hand if there is an issue or problem for fear of reprisal by executive leaders. • Too many corporate initiatives and projects. Lack of focus to achieve goals. • Not enough employees to get the work done. Over worked employees. Company is unwilling to add full time headcount. Resource gaps are being filled by temp/contract workers. It appears there are more temps and contractors than company employees. In a lot of cases, temps/contractors are making more than company employees. • Moral is very low across Finance, HR, IT, Procurement, R&D and Supply Chain teams. • High employee turnover rates. • No career development for employees. • Overall, keep job searching. Do not waste your time at Avanos. The grass is not greener at Avanos. It is dried up, brown and full of bugs.

Thank you for taking the time to share your input. We appreciate your candor as this is one of our company’s core values. When we launched Avanos a year ago, we did so knowing that we were embarking on a complex, multi-year journey. We started by surveying our employees and customers, identifying focus areas to achieve our vision of benefitting patients. We continue to regularly survey, and believe our employees appreciate that we are using their feedback to adjust and improve. Our focus remains on the long-term success of Avanos, and we’re extremely proud of the progress we have made in just one year. Transformation does not happen overnight. We are building an organization and a culture that reinforces doing the right things the right way, and believe our employees know that the work they’re doing is valuable and meaningful. Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts. If you have any additional comments or questions, we invite you to email recruiting.support@avanos.com.

Lack of EMEA leadership

Back office
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

flexible working hours and home office policy

Cons

Flexible working hours and home office day often turns into “day off” as people abuse this opportunity, starting with management. There is no EMEA GM for more than 6 months, Current leadership shows no local management skills due to lack of leadership, charisma, ownership...... HR is hardly ever in the office and holds a “closed door” policy as the focus is not local employees but own image towards US leadership. Friday is fun day as no one is in the office, no mails, no interuptions as the majority of people “work” at home. Further more it is a stressy environment which is not needed if everyone would actually work 5 days per week including management. if back office team leadership would have less self-pity and work instead it would actually be a great company to work in.
