bonus structure needs to be achievable

Advice to Management

communicate more

Pros

A lot of change over the past few years. Some for the benefit of people and others for the business. Better bonus now and people now being made to work on getting developed. The new pay scales seem good.

Cons

I hope I still work here after the restructure and shift changes finish but I know it was needed to happen. Many people are more worried but most are lazy people who don't want change. Less management jobs in future I want to be one of the successful ones at the end. We are not as busy as we should be so it was obvious they had to do something about it.

Advice to Management

Remove the lazy people. Finish the structure change quick. Work out what to do to sell more and get back to the volumes we used to do.

Pros

I work in a great team. Direction and strategy to achieve goals is very clear. Direct management is supportive and clearly values the input of each individual team member.

I have worked in various teams in my time at Cromwell and effectiveness of management is not the same across the board. This clearly affects the teams moral and productivity.

Leadership has greatly improved - care about team members and the customer, and are committed to Cromwell being a Great Place to Work Opportunities for those who contribute to the business and demonstrate the right positive behaviours (Mostly) passionate and like-minded colleagues Fit for purpose business strategy Initiatives planned for the next 3 years, and beyond

Cons

Pockets of long standing colleagues who act as 'victims' and think of the 'good old days' through rose tinted glasses, stuck in their ways and bring about negativity More demonstrable consequent management for those who don't perform or who are unprofessional

Continue to keep communications open and keep listening to team members, in particular those close to customers, encourage them to listen to the customer voice and have confidence in sharing this feedback, in addition to their ideas and suggestions for continuous improvement
