Human Resources Function Lacks the “Human” Element - werkgeversreview Data Science Manager bij MathCo

• Instances of being placed on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) felt misaligned, particularly when there were limited or no active project opportunities available • Concerns raised with the manager and senior leadership, including the People Success Officer (PSO) function, did not result in meaningful resolution or support • The PSO function, despite its intent, often feels disconnected from employee concerns, with communication not always translating into action • There appears to be a gap between what is discussed with employees and what is communicated to stakeholders, leading to confusion and lack of trust • Feedback mechanisms can feel one-sided, with outcomes seemingly predetermined rather than collaborative • At times, the work environment feels influenced by internal politics and hierarchy rather than merit and transparency • Lack of alignment across teams impacts planning, workload distribution, and overall employee experience
