Access Sciences Response
10yThank you for your frank feedback. We strive for work-life balance to keep our employees happy and healthy. Access Sciences has developed a Consulting Career Model to address your concerns about advancement or job assignment diversification. Our consultants should work with their community leads to figure out the best role for themselves. It takes two-way communications to build a career. Our employees can be SMEs, industry experts, or project managers. These roles can change based on business need and it is critical for our employees to remain flexible in skill and attitude during challenging economic times. Our core values define who we are. One of our core values is Craftsmanship which espouses the need to cultivate talent and learning. We do this by shepherding a process for career guidance and support for our employees; not only when there is a job well done, but when there is a need for coaching. Another of our core values is Stewardship which points to the importance of the employees’ support of the long term growth of our employee-owned company. We will continue to communicate vision, core values, the “why we do what we do” with the employees through face-to-face meetings with leadership where and when possible and appropriate.
