      Business outlook

      Pros

      When i joined minivator the company valued all input from the staff acting on it more often than not .

      Cons

      When handicare took over a blame culture was introduced and good staff alienated for having an opinion that didn't chime with the lower management yes men this lead to low moral within what used to be a quality workforce. I have never seen such a nose dive in quality and moral.

      Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback. In addition to the regular open door policy that HR have, we try to encourage our teams and employees to speak openly about any concerns or frustrations, whether this be via our online and paper employee surveys or voiced at our bi -monthly Associate Committee where we ask for feedback and employees can discuss any issue they feel is important. This can both anonymously or in person. Last year the UK team launched its 2020 vision and strategy and we are currently implementing initiatives to help us achieve our ambition to become the UK's leading stairlift provider in a very competitive market. We value all feedback, from our customers, employees, and partners as it helps us review and develop the way we do things.

      The company is unfortunately a meat grinder!

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Good package in terms of life assurance.

      Cons

      Poor correlation between initiative and effort put into the job and reward. Anyone found to be hardworking and competent was given more work and responsibility, but no corresponding reward, hence the title of 'meat grinder'.

      A company with customers at heart...

      Pros

      Some great members of staff willing to go the extra mile to get the right product to the customer.

      Cons

      There is a trend to reduce head count and drive profit for shareholders. This is no bad thing in itself, but reflects a change in culture at the company. I suspect it is not like any other dynamic business post banking crisis.

      Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, we are happy to hear you found working with the team rewarding . We are constantly changing and trying to improve the way we deliver our service and this sometimes means focussing more on cost and the efficiency of how we operate, however, we also try to make sure that we thank and reward our team on a regular basis for the hard work put in.
