Pros
Few talented and dedicated colleagues remain.
Cons
- Novatti, once a rising ASX-listed company, has drastically reduced its workforce by more than half, leading to significant instability.
- Leadership and direction seem to be lost in translation with middle management, resulting in a lack of clear vision and purpose.
- The company has been unable to establish a clear vision of its business model, having had many incarnations, none of which have been successful.
- The ongoing instability has bred a toxic workplace culture, making it difficult to stay motivated and engaged.
- Job stability is practically non-existent, with frequent restructures and layoffs creating a sense of constant uncertainty.
- Change management undoubtedly has its roadbumps, but there are ways to mitigate the fallout by having clear strategies, transparent communication, and robust support systems. This should be led from the top down to ensure alignment and minimize disruptions.
- Expect a wave of irrational decisions in all areas. If you see directives coming down from the home office that make no sense, it’s because they likely don’t, especially if the goal is to remain in business!
