Diligent Response
4yThank you for sharing your perspective with us. We certainly agree that our people are a huge part of what make Diligent an employer of choice, and we strive to ensure all our team members feel valued and competitively rewarded for their efforts.
To your specific feedback, our decision to close our Christchurch office in New Zealand was made only after extensive analysis of how best to enhance collaboration across our team and drive greater impact for our clients. In fact, the feedback we were hearing was that it was difficult for employees to collaborate in real-time and move with agility due to vast time zone differences. We don’t underestimate how difficult these changes were for any team member who was impacted and took every available step we had to support them.
More broadly, this year we have made it a focus to cascade goals throughout our entire organization to promote greater strategic clarity and alignment. If you have more specific ideas or suggestions on how we can improve and better support you, please speak with your manager or ELT member so we can be responsive to your concerns. You can also email us anonymously at HRconfidential@diligent.com. Thank you again.
-Avigail Dadone, Chief People Officer
