Pros

Exceptionally strong values - to provide brilliant service and to do the right thing for clients and colleagues - with strong leadership. It seems that EW really does care about its clients and colleagues - and it seems to be always challenging itself to do better. With the founder, Mark Ellis, returning to the business last year and with a great new MD, Gavin Snell, joining and with many investments now being made in good people and systems, there is an exciting, energetic and positive feel in the business. There is a genuine desire by colleagues to deliver the best (brilliant) quality fixed fee HR/ employment law / health & safety services, which feels good.

Cons

It's a fast growing forward thinking business with big ambition and demanding expectations and standards, which brings plenty of challenges and does not suit everybody. However the business is investing in people and systems and so those people that buy into the vision are excited by the challenge and future.

Thank you so much for your review. Your comments on our strong values to deliver brilliant service, be optimistic, act with integrity and work as one team are really useful feedback. It is great to receive your comments about the leadership of the business and that your feel there is an exciting, energetic and positive feel in EW. You are right in your mention that this may not be the right environment for everybody; through our ME Performance Framework we are supporting everyone to be the best they can be, in order for us to achieve our ambitions. We want colleagues who are as you say, excited by the challenge and the future at EW. We are investing in many ways to support this, from new software to our Future Leaders Programme. I hope you continue to enjoy the challenge your role brings and have a very rewarding career at EW. Thanks again!

Pros

Career opportunities are good. Salaries are decent. There are some nice individuals within the business.

Cons

Awful, awful dictatorship style management from the top down. Massive labour turnover. An utterly ridiculously political environment. Some leaders in the business are more concerned with escalating their own image and financial worth within the business and they are happy to use you as cannon fodder. Lied to, on a number of occasions. Told there would be a secure job for us after restructures, only to find out some of our jobs had already been recruited for and then individuals previously told there would be a place for them at WN have then been made redundant. They literally couldn't care less about your wellbeing if they tried... They have just launched a wellbeing charter - which would be great. However on recent group meetings there has even been ridiculous things like a 'car park hierarchy' where the senior people in the business get to park closer to the door, and the minions have to park further down the car park. Awful, awful, awful, toxic and damaging environment.

Thank you for taking the time to write this feedback. We're so sorry to hear of your experiences and can assure you that a great deal of work has been carried out recently to set the foundation for a positive culture within WorkNest, including the articulation of our Values and holding people to account if they are not aligned to these. We are also progressing our leadership development and I can assure you that no such hierarchy exists today. Thank you for your contribution and we wish you well in your future plans.
