Minpunten
Employee experience can vary significantly depending on the team and manager.
In some areas there is a culture of excessive criticism rather than constructive feedback.
Workloads can become unsustainable, contributing to stress and burnout.
Concerns around psychological safety are not always addressed effectively.
I observed behaviours that I felt were exclusionary and, at times, inconsistent with the organisation's stated values of inclusion and respect.
Career development opportunities can be limited when managers prioritise short-term delivery over employee growth.
Escalation routes for workplace concerns could be clearer and inspire greater confidence among employees.
