Swim England Reviews

Recent changes highlight a move away from flexibility with people being told they need to be in the office more for collaboration. Cancelling of the employee awards, Christmas party and the company day (Christmas Eve) highlight a turn away from people centric and more toward control. SLT got a 3 day trip to 'plan' though and came back with changes they had not spoken to heads of departments about. Lots of money spent on consultants and now they say they are falling short on projected income. Quick fixes and no real direction from a recently expanded directorship under a new CEO.

That said, the company’s approach to flexibility has shifted in a way that’s frustrated a lot of staff. More people are being brought back into the office under the banner of “collaboration,” but it often feels more like micromanagement than genuine teamwork. Full-time home working contracts are only available if at least half of your weekly work is field-based, which has really limited the organisation’s ability to attract or retain talented people who live further afield from Loughborough.
