Trying to manufacture a culture

Simply Business Response

Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We’re sorry to hear that you feel things are changing for the worse. We recognise that – as we continue to adapt to meet our customers' evolving needs – we have been through a period of change, and this can sometimes be difficult to navigate. We’d really appreciate it if you could share some insights around the changes you feel are not landing well. Please reach out to your manager or the people team to share your thoughts. Our unique culture has always been at the heart of our success, and we feel strongly about protecting and harnessing this as we continue to adapt to a better normal. We're disappointed to hear you feel this is 'manufactured' and would welcome an open conversation to learn more. Our people are the drivers of our culture and we'd love to understand what we could be doing differently to continue to ensure that SB remains an amazing place to work.

Pros

> I love the flexibility that Simply Business provides to it's employees. It's nice to have the freedom to work from home or the office depending on circumstances/preferences; and it shows a great deal of trust which is nice to have from an employer. > The company culture is also engaging, fun and super flexible, with company events being offered year round; with the choice to opt in or out at your own leisure. > The people who work here from management to those under management are all super respectful and positive, and there is a culture of understanding between everyone; no one feels left out and everyone feels close and trusted. > There are also a range of helpful benefits available for those who are employed >Lastly, the working environment itself feels chilled an stress free, which goes hand in hand with the positive company culture, there is also a lot of adaptations and support available for people with disabilities or other preferences

Cons

> The office can be a bit loud when the attendance is high, making it slightly more difficult to get your head down if needed.

Simply Business Response

Thank you for taking time out to write us a review. We love that you have been enjoying the flexibility in your role, and that you appreciate our efforts to make sure inclusion is in our DNA.
