Reactie van Made Tech
2yThanks for taking the time to review. I totally agree that we have genuinely delightful people here at Made Tech who are committed to our mission and our impact. I’m sorry to read you’ve not had a positive experience with us up to now.
Our work to improve equality, diversity and inclusion at Made Tech is an important part of who we are but we accept that there are always areas where we can improve. In the past 12 months we’ve launched our first-ever apprenticeship programme, hosted our Blackathon event and delivered training sessions on a range of neurodivergent conditions, to name but a few. This is on top of the 100+ people we’ve already supported into a career in tech through our academies, we’re very proud of that. Work is already underway to understand how diverse Made Tech is now and what our priorities will be in the next 12 months, including the launch of our first ever charity partner of the year.
On Learning and Development, it is painful to read that you’ve felt there are no prospects here. Providing the opportunity to learn and develop is core for us, especially given the consultancy nature of our business. We have made changes to our training budgets to make it less “one size fits all” and give more decentralised budget pots to take into account team and individual needs. Likewise, we’re soon to be rolling out new training to help level up and support our line managers across all capabilities, in their Community of Practice.
I’d really welcome the opportunity to hear more about where you see the lack of alignment around values and anything else you’d like to share about your experience so far in your time here. Come and talk to me or your People Forum rep and let’s try to address this.
