Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your experience working at GGLO. We’re glad to hear the flexible schedules were beneficial to you and that you think our people are great. We think so too!
We are disappointed to hear about your negative perceptions of GGLO. Regarding staffing, we believe it is very important to allow employees to have flexibility in their schedules. This certainly creates some extra effort for our workload team and our project leaders, but we feel like it is worth it to support our staff. We believe we do a great job of designing effective teams and getting teams extra help when they need it. We also feel we do a great job of hiring to keep up with our workload. For a firm of 120, we’ve brought on 18 new employees across 3 offices this year so far. We also feel incredibly lucky to stay so busy.
We believe we know of the less-than-satisfactory leadership situation you are speaking of and acknowledge there was a leadership challenge. As you know we acted quickly to resolve this issue and reinstated new, appropriate leadership to ensure continuity of client care, design quality, and employee happiness. We’ve seen great improvement in all three areas so far.
Lastly, we are saddened to hear of your perception that leaders are out for themselves. At GGLO we take pride in a humble leadership team that is receptive to feedback. We are always looking for ways to make GGLO an even better place to work. We work hard to make decisions that elevate our design work, serve our clients and support our staff. Here are just a few of the ways we support our employees and project teams.
We provide:
• A rich health and wellness package including medical/vision and dental insurance, mental health resources, HSAs, FSAs, identity theft protection, supplemental benefits, employee assistance program, life insurance
