Pros

Still a sense of employee focus and wellbeing (middle management layers enact this in their teams) Wellness Week In certain Business Units, there is a strong sense of teamwork and working towards a common good -- our learners.

Cons

Removed two wellness days when the feedback has been very clear that the employees need more time off when the whole company is off. Upper management fails to realize that the constant push for growth is straining the contributors and creating burnout, a sense of defeat.

Cengage Response

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I am glad to hear that you sense a strong sense of teamwork among a group of people who are working towards a common mission to serve learners. Ensuring we are supporting employee health and wellbeing continues to be a priority. We continue to offer a company-wide Wellness Week, as we recognize that additional time at the end of the year is extremely valuable in helping our employees’ recharge. We also offer a range of benefits and services to support employees both at work and in their personal lives. Thank you for your more than 6 years of service. I wish you the best in your next endeavors. CEO, Michael Hansen
