Anon - Anonymous employee HansaWorld Employee Review

Thank you for giving us your feedback. We appreciate all feedback and yours is especially valuable since it emphasises how differently things can be perceived from two different angles. I am happy you noted that many very intelligent people have selected HansaWorld as their employer. We value intelligence, knowledge and friendly relationship between our employees. Let me address your concerns and state HansaWorld’s point of view. We believe that it is beneficial for all employees to get familiar with HansaWorld routines as soon as possible. Therefore we discuss the most relevant policies (for example, traveling, work/life balance, flexible work hours) already during the hiring process. Moreover, the Corporate manual overview is included into the induction training for all new employees. Our Corporate manual is digital. Every policy and routine there has three acceptance options: “Accept”, “Reject” or “Decide later”. Our employees are free to decide which option to select. Traveling globally to work together with colleagues from different countries and cultures is essential for HansaWorld’s success. Travel arrangements are made to best serve the employee and the company. Multiple options are presented for each travel occasion, and it is up to the employee to select the most optimal choice. We do suggest 2 week long intercontinental travel in order to give employees time to adjust to a different time zone and make jet lag as easy as possible. Socialising is very important for us. We are a company with many international and remote teams that have to work closely together. Work goes smoother if you personally know the colleague on the other end of the line. We believe that sharing a meal is a great way to get know your colleague outside of the work environment. We do serve wine during our company dinners but it does not mean drinking alcohol is mandatory. Many employees at any company dinner have only water or soft drinks in their glasses. During the company dinners we wait for all guests to arrive before sitting and starting to eat. I’m sorry if it was misunderstood. And as a woman, I have never felt any pressure to dress up for company dinners. I decide myself based on occasion and a dinner venue. If overtime happens, it is compensated with time off during the work week. Additionally our flexible work hours allows you schedule your work and rest time in order to balance private and work life in an easy way. Our employees usually see this as a great benefit. We want our employees to have a good work/life balance and we believe that work affects private life and private life affects work. Our employees are encouraged to discuss any issues which can affect work (or work problems that can affect private life) with their managers or HR, so the company could help the employees to overcome difficulties as early as possible. Thank you again for your feedback. I hope I have managed to address your concerns. I would wish you were more proactive in raising your doubts about company policies and traveling with your manager or HR, so we could support you. If you would like to speak more about your experience, please contact me at hrhelp@hansaworld.com and we will set up time to talk. Meanwhile we wish you all the best in your career. Kind Regards Reda - HR Manager
