Most of the teams are well-structured, but a few are going through growing pains as they get bigger and redevelop organisational processes.

Good morning, Firstly, thank you for taking the time to leave your comments. We are sorry to learn that you feel this way; we always endeavour to create a positive colleague experience and encourage constructive feedback from our current or former colleagues. Everyone is entitled to a personal view and opinion, however there are certain comments sighted in your review that we cannot agree with, specifically in relation to our employment practices. We strive for 100% positive colleague experience, and in line with our company values we acted within our requirements under the job retention scheme and with regards to the amendments to statutory leave. I can also confirm that the temporary change to annual leave was introduced with the appropriate consultation and with overwhelming support from our colleagues. It is also important to understand that we applied a fair policy when remunerating our colleagues, including the way that commission/bonus payments were made during the challenging months of 2020 and in the support that we provided when our colleagues returned to work. Should you wish to discuss these matters further, please contact peopleteam@hendy-group.com as this will give us both a better opportunity to resolve any outstanding matters regarding your time with Hendy in a more appropriate forum. Thanks again for your feedback.

Pros

Really good team (bar one or 2) at site level. Some genuinely good people who show strong resilience against the constant barrage from above.

Cons

New restructure every week it seems. More spreadsheet pushers than people who have worked in the real world. Hours are a killer, weekend work sucks. One of the worst company's I've worked for but with the best people (mostly) at site level. Claim to be a family company but there is zero empathy from management.

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your time working with us, that's certainly not the environment we aim for. However, we are pleased to hear that you we surrounded by a great team, that's incredibly important. We continue to work with our managers to ensure their teams feel supported, and fulfilled in their roles. We wish you all the best with your future career.
