Update 5/5/2016:
The Company was purchased in November 2014 (3 months after this review) and since that time, our new owners have completely invested in our existing brands, innovation, expanding our portfolio, and in our employees and their development. We're happy to share that these investments have resulted in:
- Creating more structure and focus to our teams, without micromanaging. Instead, we've provided the framework for our employees to own their respective business areas and act as business entrepreneurs. We've received great feedback from our teams with this new way of working and will continue to listen to employee feedback to find an optimal mix.
- Aligning bonus structures to reward individual performance with personalized key performance indicators (KPIs), metrics, and transparency.
- Promoted more than 50 people into new roles.
- Invested in employee growth and career progression by creating a Learning and Development department and started training sessions.
- Added additional elements to our compensation packages to be competitive (and in some areas above) the market. As an example, we were an industry leader in creating a paid Parental Leave policy that exceeds individual state minimums!
We are confident that the company has become more stable, successful and innovative since November 2014. We're always open to continued feedback and encourage all of our employees to speak with their manager or a member of leadership and share their thoughts so we can continue to become better.
