The Leadership of the Company is focused on winning. They have a plan and have invited all employees to participate. Monthly Company meetings, functional staff meetings and annual strategy meetings are all in place for employees to influence direction and get status on progress.
Cons
As can be expected, the big changes have caused some unrest and insecurities amongst the workforce. The early adopters are excited about the new direction, but slower adopters are sitting on the sidelines waiting for change to happen instead of taking advantage of new opportunities. This of course has caused some level of churn within the Company. The result has been some level of turnover. To their credit, the Company’s leadership recognizes the issue and has taken action to help navigate towards its vision.
