Don’t bother - Anonymous employee AutoRek Employee Review

Thanks for sharing your comments and are disappointed to hear that you personally are not confident to express your concerns in person. Many of your colleagues regularly provide feedback and openly express their opinions. However, we recognise that not everyone feels able to, or wants to do that. To encourage maximum feedback and suggestions from our people, there are now regular opportunities to submit anonymous feedback on a variety of topics, including that of the Town Hall format and content, and wider feedback about the culture, engagement and business strategy. In response to the other ‘cons’ that you highlight, below are some facts that highlight AutoRek position. Gender – currently 30% of our workforce are female. A study by Deloitte states that in Tech Companies female representation is 25%. Even though we are ahead of the current industry norm, we continue to strive for a gender balanced team. Our ERG group ‘Women@AutoRek’ has been launched to help us to do that along with other company initiatives including enhanced policies to encourage and support women in the workplace. Bonus - this financial year the company bonus scheme changed to include an increased bonus target for all employees, plus opportunity to achieve bonus awards based upon a job level weighted combination of individual goals and company financial targets. Career and Growth - the organisational redesign supports the ability to meet the pace of business growth and continued success of AutoRek and creates a broader range of both generalist and specialist roles which will only increase as the business grows further. Line Manager development has been a priority this year and everyone that has formal responsibility for leading people will attend our Manager Fundamentals programme. Retention - our current employee retention rate is 98.6% and average tenue is 5 years. Both statistics have improved from 12 months ago and compare very favourably for the Tech sector. We genuinely want to hear from our people and encourage you to continue to provide your feedback either in person or through the anonymous internal feedback mechanisms.
