Novelis reviews

Massive disconnect between upper level executives, corporate and the plants. Very frustrating due to excessive micromanaging by those who are clueless about what the business really needs at the plant floor. Excessive approvals and unrealistic expectations are wearing on the hardest of workers. The time commitments are out of line with the pay.

No longer people oriented: - high turnover with employees working many, many hours to correct management decisions like the SAP project. - Are cutting retiree medical insurance after promising coverage until 65. This will effect 300+ retirees and families who will now have to buy their own medical care starting 2016. These are people who dedicated their careers to Novelis and who were mostly 25+year employees. - Are reducing life insurance for retirees saving $14MM while giving $14MM in long term incentives to Executives as reported in recent 10Q and 10Q/10QK reports filed with the government essentially taking benefits from retirees and giving more money to Executives. HR group doesn't seem to have the courage or strength to support the needs of the employees. A sign of a good company is one that respects it's current and previous employees. Novelis is not that Company
