Hello and thank you very much for your feedback. I'm unsure when you left Orbit but over the last 12 months we have launched new learning and development programmes for our people leaders: we commenced with a programme for our new and aspiring leaders and will follow this in 2023 with a series of development programmes for our middle and senior people leaders. We want our people leaders to create the best opportunities for all our colleagues to succeed so we can deliver an outstanding service for our customers. We will be investing both time and resources to ensure we meet this very clear objective. In October we launched our first quarterly all colleague engagement survey. We had a tremendous response with 85% of colleagues completing the survey and offering feedback. When compared to other employers, colleagues at Orbit are more satisfied and we exceeded the benchmark by 8 points, achieving a favourable engagement score of 81%. And looking at the quality of leadership, Orbit was 6 points higher than the benchmark of other employers. This is great news but we acknowledge we can be better. We are working hard to create a place where our colleagues can grow and develop within a business that our customers love. It's always a journey but remaining focused on these clear objectives will ensure we keep true to our promise. Perhaps we can welcome you back to Orbit in the future.

Pros

- Good benefits and fair salary - Great colleagues

Cons

- Awful management who provide little to no support and terrible leadership who don't seem to know what's going on - Bullying and intimidation is rife, throughout most teams, with fear of job security - Poor planning and rollout of services that are cancelled at the last minute - Inadequate tools and support to do the job employed for - Policies that are designed to intimidate customers - A CEO who is running the company to the ground, mass redundancies and even more mass sickness, with already stretched workloads being stretched even further - Development only possible if you are willing to compromise on morals

We’re really sorry to hear you feel this way. This isn’t the experience we want for our colleagues and isn’t reflective of the culture we strive to create here at Orbit. We’re committed to fostering an environment where all colleagues feel respected, heard, and valued and we’re continually working to support that goal. We also want to be clear that bullying or intimidation is not acceptable and doesn’t align with our values, and we encourage anyone with any concerns to report them, so they can be addressed properly. Periods of change can be difficult, but that doesn’t remove our responsibility to listen, communicate, and support our people. Thank you taking the time to share this feedback. Hearing these concerns helps us understand where we need to improve and do better.
