Strange culture - Partnerships Hive Learning Employee Review

Thank you to everyone for their reviews. I'm the current CEO only since start of 2020. I worked in the organisation when this review was written and I can see how you felt and observed some of these culture traits myself. I wish you were with us now as I'd hope it would feel very very different... yes the work can be hard (hard problems to solve), and we definitely haven't aced diversity and inclusion to the extent we try to teach it, but we're so much further on that journey now. On working hours I haven't seen that too much in the past bar when there's been an occasional major project deadline when I think people are largely Ok to go harder for a few days then take the time back... I'm so sorry you felt that way and worked so much! I've massively championed balance and flexibility as I genuinely believe balance gets the most out of people - happy people do their best work. I think we're more like a 9-5 culture than you describe, maybe a bit outside that if people choose to flex to do school runs or go to the gym : ) but there's absolutely no expectation from me or any managers now to work outside that, I even put that on my email signature as I sometimes need to work in the evening as I have a young family and need to flex a bit in the day. I also hope the hierarchy point feels very different now too with a whole new leadership team pretty much... thanks again for sharing and wherever you are now I hope it's great!
