Third Bridge Response
1yThank you for your review. We take the concerns you’ve raised very seriously, and we appreciate the opportunity to address them. We are deeply concerned with the claims regarding prescription medication abuse and unequivocally do not condone the misuse of prescription medication under any circumstances.
Prompt action to investigate and address this matter appropriately would have been taken if it had been reported. We have several channels for employees to report such serious matters, including a person’s direct manager, senior leaders, the Professional Conduct and Ethics team, the HR team, or through our confidential Ethics Hotline.
On the topic of senior leadership diversity, we recognise that this is an area where we can improve. We are deeply committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace where all employees have equal opportunities for growth and success. Internal mobility is at the top of our agenda and we pride ourselves on a fair and meritocratic interview process for internal vacancies. These values guide our hiring and promotion practices.
We do primarily hire individuals who have recently graduated from college and focus on identifying candidates who demonstrate competitiveness, strong motivation, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment.
We have an in-depth training program for our new joiners that equips them with the tools and skills to succeed in the role. We also provide performance development plans to discuss performance and challenges.
We seek employee volunteers to work on public holidays to meet client needs and they are given a day off in lieu in return, ensuring they receive the same amount of time off as their colleagues.
We appreciate your honesty and hope this response provides some clarity around the concerns you’ve shared.
