Wow - Senior Conference Producer IQPC Employee Review

Thank you for your review, it is important we listen to all forms of feedback and continue to improve as an employer as a consequence, but I was saddened to read your review. As a Company we are continuously looking at ways we can improve our Employee Experience and Engagement. We do this through Employee Surveys (completed through a third party to retain anonymity) and as a result of this feedback have made some hugely positive improvements over the last few years. Things like: • Improved Company Benefits (i.e. – Increased holiday allowances, improved pension, life insurance and more work is being done on this to significantly further our provisions in the near future) • A new On boarding Platform to help new starters familiarise with the company and their roles • A new On-line Training platform, plus monthly Global Webinars focused on core skill development Your comments on Anti-Harassment are especially disappointing to read. We take our duty of care seriously and would never allow or condone the behavior you mention, and want to assure you that we have never received a complaint or allegation and not dealt with it thoroughly and professionally. It is essential that we investigate and appropriately deal with any allegations or complaints. Sadly situations can be discussed amongst colleagues (who may not have access to all of the facts) but for us to commence an investigation they also need to be formally raised to the Company, when this occurs, we always carry out a full and complete investigation. As a proactive measure, and to underline our determination and commitment towards a diverse and meritocratic work environment, every employee has been provided with external training on an updated Anti-Harassment and Bullying Policy I was also really disappointed to see that you did not feel developed by our organisation. Nurturing talent is something we pride ourselves in as an organisation and we have a strong track record of doing this. Most organisations would make such stock responses as well, but we genuinely can back this up with fact. Over 70% of our managers have been through our Annual Management Development Programme and this year we’ve also redesigned our Performance Management Programme to focus on future goal achievement, supported by transparent and structured career paths for all core functions. Feedback on training in our employee survey continues to be positive, but we continue to increase investments in training and coaching year-on-year Like all organisations we know we still have work to do but we remain committed to creating a fun, transparent and collaborative environment, where all our employees feel valued and supported and we believe these efforts are increasingly visible in our retention and staff tenure rates which beat industry benchmarks. Furthermore, we would invite anyone reading this who is considering a role at IQPC to contact us and arrange to come in and meet our management team and any of our staff to gain an accurate first hand perspective on what life is like at IQPC.
