Execution lagging too far behind strategy

Business outlook

Pros

Flexible working hours, EAP provided

Cons

Long working hours resulted from over-consolidation of work. Too much change in the organisation that leads to disengagement and job insecurity on the ground. Management hears but doesn't listen enough - only start doing something when it's too late but sometimes it is not what employees need.
