Ok, used to be great - Anonymous employee Simply Business Employee Review

Thank you for sharing an honest and detailed review of your five years with us. It’s great to hear that you feel supported by your team and see a clear path for your career progression, that is exactly the kind of environment we continually strive to build. However, it’s clear that recent changes have created some frustrations, and we really appreciate your candor. We know the shift to 8 days a month in the office is an adjustment from our previous flexibility, and recognize this will have an impact on the likes of travel costs. However, we firmly believe this helps maintain our unique culture – one which allows us to foster relationships with each other, do our best for our customers, and ultimately develop our people. Regarding your feedback on the recent pay review and the transparency of our "Exceeds" ratings: thank you. We want our rewards to feel fair and motivating, ensuring that those who go above and beyond are rewarded fairly. Your insights on the rating balance, specifically how easy it feels to miss vs. how hard it is to exceed are valuable and we will be sharing this directly with our People Team to ensure our framework remains balanced and consistent for everyone. We would love the opportunity to discuss this further and find ways to better support your experience, as we truly value your impact and want to ensure Simply Business remains a place where you feel you can continue to grow.
