Explorance Response
4yThank you for your feedback. All feedback matters, and to me, the occasional negative feedback, matters even more. We will continue our quest for evolution and betterment for all.
That said, to keep the record straight, because there are a few elements of misinformation in your message, we feel enticed to address a few certain items:
1. I am not sure we understand how you have been 8 years with Explorance, when we have only operated in Chicago for a little less than 3 years so far.
2. Every time we ran the Great Place to Work survey, we have included every single Explorer in the survey, though we did not have to. We deeply embrace feedback. We only ranked #1 workplace, it is because of our many years of all-inclusive listening, learning, and acting on employee feedback.
3. I have never claimed that we do not "fire" at Explorance, we absolutely would, and do. What we do not do is "layoff". Layoff is when an organization downsizes because of performance issues, or direction changes. We do not layoff because we are all in this together. But we will definitely let go of people if we believe that they are not capable, committed, or carrying their weight in fairness to their colleagues and team mates.
4. Promotions and career opportunity is for everyone, no matter who they are and where they are. For a fact, over the last 8 months, about 75% of the promotions took place outside of our Montreal headquarters. Explorance is very conscious and careful in ensuring that opportunity is offered to every bright and hard working Explorer, no matter who they are, and where they are in this world. Of course, for certain roles, and as any business does, we focus our recruitment efforts in certain hubs that give us access to the specialized talent needed to differentiate, and in apples-to-apples scenarios, where it makes more economical sense.
Candidly, it seems that you are holding a deep grudge, or wound, and that you are using Glassdoor to express yourself hoping to inflict negative employer brand impact on Explorance. I regret that we could not find a way to make you feel better about Explorance, and be in position to offer you the kind of career growth you may have wished for.
