6yWe are deeply sorry that you have such a negative perception of our organisation.
We pride ourselves on our diverse international workforce and as such sometimes English may be the second language of many staff members, and communication might not always as straight forward as it might be between native English speakers. That being said, we actively encourage open communication and suggestions from staff, with this being part of our company culture assessment process; employees are asked to provide suggestions regarding their own and other departmental working practices so that we can continually improve our internal and external procedures,
With regards to the company policy on overtime, although you are correct in saying that technically it is unpaid, it is awarded for staff to take as ‘Time off in lieu’ instead. Although we recommend that staff take the time off within one month to ensure an adequate work life balance, during busy periods, this can be extended by staff to take later on.
We train all new staff when they join but also allow our sales staff to develop their own business development and marketing campaigns, which is made clear during the interview process. Furthermore, during recruitment, all hires are made using the same screening process, whereby we conduct capability based interviews with all candidates.
