Review - Area Manager Rockwell Automation Employee Review

Thanks for the feedback, and I'm glad you thought we have a good learning environment - I agree. We just also happen to extend that learning environment into building our culture, where we take the time to include to everyone, not just a select few. Since we count on millennials to contribute a lot - in turn, it feels fair to make an investment in them. Likewise with any aspect of diversity: race, gender - or any... we simply try to hire the best. I can say that a lot has changed for me in 21 years of being a woman at this company. Today: I feel heard. I feel valued. And I work really (really) hard and give it my best. The difference is that now (and for the last number of years) I can be seen as a leader for my contributions, even if it doesn't look like the way past leaders did it. Plus, it's not just me, it's my team, too. We're made up of very diverse people of all backgrounds, ethnicities, races, regions of the world, and age demographics doing new work that's never been done. And we are crushing it. Truly, I wish we could spend more money and resources as a company. Most of the 'resources' you reference are actually people's time - our own time. We talk to one another - across teams - around the world to make the effort to get to reach across difference. And while sure, "time is money" that's the investment that makes us better. We're seeing great performance results. It's not a coincidence. And bonus: we're also more valuable to our customers. (They're actually giving us that feedback - and inviting us in to help them with their initiatives, like THE REALLY BIG CUSTOMERS, btw.) It's a pretty great place for a lot of us who are taking our own time investment and leveraging the willingness of our leaders to be more open to new ways of success. Good luck at your new company!
