Minority Supplier Development Reviews

- In my opinion the company lacks genuine leadership from the senior leadership team. I would like to see them provide strategy and vision as well as having a hands-on approach and working with their teams. Unfortunately it feels like some of the senior leaders do not know what is happening in their own team. - I believe there is a lack of internal communication from the senior leadership team. For example, team days frequently consist of mangers and executives presenting to the leadership team on their performance but there is rarely any guidance or structured updates and presentations on what the company plans are going forwards. - In my opinion there is a lack of empathy for team members and what they may be going through at work or personally. I believe that there really needs to be a development in processes for how the team are treated especially in terms of mental health and the current economic crisis. - Towards the end of my tenure, I found the company to be very political which I felt affected many people's roles and progression. - Unfortunately it seems that if you are liked by management you will be rewarded rather than on the basis of competency, skills and results delivered. - Workloads need to be looked at as it is too busy all year round with more and more projects being sent your way.

- The general economic downturn.
