Unfair employer who don’t trust their staff! HQ HR collude with senior leaders to exploit employee!

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Only their vision of improving lives by improving sights. Employees are mostly disengaged with the company but self driven

Cons

- HQ HR schemes to save money for the company at the expense of employee. (1) Recent reorganisation - disguise retrenchment/redundancy as something else to avoid paying packages (2) regularly use contractual termination to get rid of people without good reason - High tolerance of poor performing senior management. Many poor performing senior leaders even with almost full turnover of their teams within a short period are still surviving - different standards for different people resulting in unfair practices - extremely low transparency of information to staff resulting in high disengagement. They don’t trust their people
