RS Group reviews

Senior leaders although aware of need for global diversity to grow business tend to remain UK centric. Recent "globalization" initiative is case in point. Revamped senior leadership team is UK centric and anglo saxon culturally. Viewed as "colonialist" in operations outside the UK. Lacks gender and ethnic balance in senior management team. Human Resources systems are archaic. Technology is focused on business processes, appropriate given nature of business, however, as employee adds little enhancement to day to day productivity.

First, let me say that there are some good line managers at ElectroComponents, however when my previous line manager left (internal move), the replacement couldn't care less about my development or offering any kind of support or guidance whatsoever. You really do need to watch your work colleagues too, some team members who have been there a long time seem to think they have a right to be promoted, and will tread on anyone to get it, not caring if their actions have a negative impact on others. One last point, unless you are classed as a 'high potential', you can forget about progression. High potentials are essentially the line manager's favourites, and are fast tracked on the manager development programme. Although strangely, there don't seem to be any people management elements to this programme...
