HiveHR Response
5yThanks for taking the time to share your views. We appreciate the feedback.
Here at Hive we actively use our own tools to encourage employee feedback no matter what the issue, so we’re not afraid of hearing feedback from our people, good or bad. In fact, we respond to every comment that is made to us. We recognise that sometimes people may not like the answer we have, but we do our best to communicate the rationale for our decisions.
Innovation is, of course, important to us and we have internal tools to support us with the collection of ideas, but like most scaling businesses we realise there are things we can do to make this approach even better.
Our leadership team are experts in their field all with diverse backgrounds and experience bringing a wealth of knowledge to our workplace. Diversity is not something we stop, we are continuing to bring diversity through our remote working policy which extends our reach to candidates, and as we love to learn, we have just completed our own inclusion and diversity survey and we’ll listen and act.
The reference to our culture is a good point as culture is defined by the people who work in our business. Through Covid, most business cultures have been in a state of flux and ours is no different. The great thing for us is our people who strive to foster a culture of collaboration, autonomy, and high performance but there will always be times where this is not spot on, so when we see it, we call it, and sometimes people don’t like to hear it, but we always aim to do the right thing by our values. Our collaboration is demonstrated during weekly stand-ups, monthly meetings and cross-functional working and we know we’re not perfect, but we continue to look at ways we can be even better.
Covid was difficult for every business through the tenacity of the leadership team, Hive achieved fantastic levels of growth and the continued direction and support given to our people is enabling us to beat that growth this year, helping us keep jobs for everyone. As we grow we bring more new initiatives to support our people along with a revised benefits package which is proving to be a welcomed employee value proposition.
