Get Set for mental health issues

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Sad to say I cannot think of any pros.

Cons

HR Team are not friendly, polite, professional. The ones that were have left the business themselves. I don’t agree with Get Set being a Mindful Employer where they support with mental health and wellbeing issues - they are the reason why people in that business have mental health issues. Employees are just a number to management. Disgusting high staff turnover - no one lasts there more than 6 months. Culture across the business is so toxic and poor.
