8yDear Colleague,
Thanks for your inputs. To start off, we are on the same page that things have to change..a lot. I also believe that the process of change, though slow, has started. Its great to see the Pros which you have mentioned in your review. But, in the spirit of our DNA of taking challenges head on, let me address the Cons which you have mentioned in the review:
1. Your input on the HR team's approachability is well received. The move to locate all support functions on a single floor was driven by the need for heightened coordination between the support teams because of the blazing speed at which we are growing. Since the Finance team too sits in the same area, as per industry best practices, the access to this floor has been limited. This has not been done to make it tough for the employees to reach HR. there have been instances where I have personally escorted employees to my cabin to make sure they do not feel this distancing. Once our growth stabilizes, I plan to move the Employee Engagement roles to the Engineering floors.
2. Please share more details at ombudsman@invecas.com. I was not able to understand this point completely. If you feel like having an face to face discussion with me, I am absolutely open to it and will keep it anonymous.
3. Deliverables matter at the end of the day. Not the time that you have spent in the office. However, there is a general expectation from entry level engineers to be in office by a certain time to make sure the managers/team leads are able to guide them as necessary and then take on higher priority tasks. It is about efficiency and not mindless enforcement of a rule. I am confused about the chairman piece, we do not have any such designation in the company. I can assure you that depending on my discussions with the Top Management, deliverables are what they care for, not the timings which have been maintained to meet these.
4. and 5. Please share more specific details on Ombudsman@invecas.com or feel free to walk in for a more detailed discussion. Your identity will be with me only, that is my promise. Feel free to test me on it.
6. Our hiring process has become more stringent and I am personally involving myself in the hiring of manager designations to ensure there is a cultural fitment. This point is critical to our success. Also, we are working on a training road-map for the existing managers. Some of these behavioral trainings were administered earlier this year to aid managers in their feedback skills and more are planned. Again, since we are a rapidly growing team, we are expanding our HR team too to support the growth in the best possible manner in the training department too.
Thanks for your feedback,
HR Head - INVECAS
