BSI Response
7yI am unhappy to hear about your feelings related to management, and I am sorry that you didn’t get the level of support you expected. Well being is a huge topic and encompasses many different aspects that influence how an individual feels while at work. We’ve taken steps to listen to our employees and understand there is room for improvement. Our ambition is to ensure that our people work in a supportive culture and an environment that will help to boost well being and it is for this reason that the organization has created global focus groups to help us improve in key areas – among them Management and Well being.
In Supply Chain we have several examples in different departments that we can point to where people have grown in their roles. It is unfortunate that as an organization we didn’t sufficiently highlight these to demonstrate that there is growth opportunity within Supply Chain, but certainly also in the broader BSI framework. We encourage our employees to grow and learn and take advantage of our diverse business and footprint if they choose to seek other opportunities.
The past 12-18 months have definitely seen quite a few changes across the entire organization as we transition to the next phase of development across our business. It is essential to have clear communication during periods of change, and from your comments we can do better to make certain our teams are aware of what is changing, why we are doing it, and the benefits for our clients and our employees.
An important part of being a great place to work is listening to employees and use those comments to assess and make improvements. I wish you the best of luck in your new role and I hope that you find the environment you are looking for in a company.
