Money isn't everything - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij Corporate Risk Solutions (Kansas)

We regret to hear that your experience was not what you expected. Hopefully, while still employed with us, you took the opportunity to share your concerns with your manager, HR and/or the CEO. We have an open door policy and encourage employees to raise issues in a timely manner so we can work together to resolve them and make positive changes, wherever possible. While always striving to be an employer of choice, we recognize that our business is not for everyone, it is intense and high-energy. The sheer nature of a project-based, consulting company is demanding and does require more from its salaried, exempt professionals than a standard 40-hour workweek. But this is not out of the ordinary. According to the business consulting industry profile, "the workload is typically 50-90 hours a week." Our company requires a minimum 50-hour workweek, which still leaves 118 hours each week for employees to enjoy their time outside of work. Yes, there are times when more hours are required, but employees are trusted to make those decisions, do their jobs and manage their time appropriately so they can enjoy their personal time. Through All Employee Surveys, our employees have indicated that contributing and making a difference; the challenging, meaningful work; and rewarding opportunities are what keep them here. Those same ideals--not money--also enable us to attract and retain an elite team of trusted professionals. Our company just takes proactive measures to make sure that money is not an obstacle to recruitment and retention. After all, we will not be able to attract and retain the talent we require if they don't believe they are adequately compensated. And since we are in business to make money, money will always be part of the equation. Despite our best retention efforts, however, we will experience turnover. As in any other company, turnover is a part of doing business. With global average employee turnover rates predicted to rise from 20.6% in 2012 to 23.4% by 2018, our company is doing well with an average turnover rate of 17.5%. Although our company desires employee longevity, realistically, we know that turnover is a necessity. In fact, turnover has allowed us to hire the right people who continually contribute to the ongoing success of our business. Turnover has helped us avoid stagnation and ensured fresh ideas and perspectives, which keeps us at the top of our game. And let's not forget the benefit to the former employee! Turnover, whether voluntary or involuntary, allows former employees to find their ideal job in an organization they love. Just as our company seeks a mutually good fit, so should job seekers. We thrive on stress. We work hard and play hard. Most of all, we enjoy what we do. Our CEO is firm, but fair, and encourages "differential debate." He believes in having fun and believes in our team. A business casual environment, Jeans Fridays and lunch on the CEO, at least monthly, are also what makes this an enjoyable environment. Those who have what it takes to be a part of our top-notch organization only need to judge for themselves. The company appreciates the opportunity to respond to your comments and wishes you well in your future endeavors.
