RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at PageGroup full-time for more than 5 years
Pros
- Fun atmosphere - Social - Willing to train personnel, real training budget. - Work hard, play very hard - A High percentage of back office staff can't bring themselves to leave or eventually come back for a 2nd tour - Being such a large organisation, preferring organic growth, there are many personnel development opportunities in the form of sideways and lateral career progression - Good Managers (mostly).
Cons
- Some of the larger back office business functions end up "silo-ing" their team members. - Some managers would benefit from management training as leadership doesn't always come naturally.
Advice to Management
Give your team members the opportunity to learn new things. With larger departments, have a shadow day per week where a team member can sit with someone else to learn new skills or even simply discuss ideas. Acknowledge that team members aren't simply resources. Make sure to get those monthly 1 to 1 meetings in and ensure to discuss, and take seriously, t career development goals and not just have them as a tick... boxing exercise.
