Pros

Generally felt supported and listened to. Considerate during times of personal crisis. On the ball with I&D. Feels like they are really trying and they do care.

Cons

Quite a lot of change. Sometimes poor communication.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, it’s really helpful to hear your perspective. It’s great to hear the positives you've called out around flexibility at the Society and the great colleagues you get the chance to work with. We appreciate your openness about career progression and how the culture is evolving. We know how important clear development opportunities are, and your feedback shows there’s more for us to do. Your point about external leadership and its impact on the feel of the Society is also important. We’d encourage you to raise these matters with your line manager in the first instance to explore what action can be taken to make things better for you and your team. If you do need any support on this, please feel free to reach us at colleagueexperience@leedsbuildingsociety.co.uk - we'd be more than happy to help. Thanks again for your feedback, it’s really valued. Kind regards Colleague Experience Team
