Layoff City - Ignore the HR responses - Senior Consultant Capco Employee Review

The unprecedented business environment in which we operate currently has placed significant additional pressures on all companies and most are taking remedial action in the form of redundancies or cuts in pay or hours, particularly in the smaller firms. At Capco, we have sought to act quickly, where necessary, to protect our business and ensure it is positioned appropriately for future growth and success. The speed at which we have acted to identify and address issues has, so far, mitigated against significant change in the business and supported business continuity. Nevertheless a small number of changes have been necessary and we have sought to manage these openly and with sensitivity and ensure those affected are properly supported. The positive feedback on pay and conditions at Capco indicates we have succeeded to some degree, at least. Your comments on leadership are unfair and untrue. It is only by leaders facing up to difficult decisions in an extremely challenging situation that we are able to protect our people, clients and the business for the future. We will make no apologies for undertaking this responsibility with fortitude and in the best interests of the firm as a whole. A relatively young leadership operating in a flat hierarchy enables us to be innovative and entrepreneurial in our response to Covid -19 but not dishonest. We have followed the advice of the WHO, government and health authorities to the letter in formulating our response and been open and honest with our people at all stages. We have shifted our focus to ensure work is profitable, sustainable and staffed appropriately ensuring our employees are as protected as possible in these difficult times.
