Pros

Peer to peer recognition and gratitude Working with capable and collaborative people

Cons

- No investment in tech debt - Org operates in a chaotic and reactionary manner - Hierarchical, senior leaders appear to make decisions in a vacuum - No useful information is being provided re the redundancy process which has kicked off since last week. People are really stressed and unsettled and it appears the Leadership reps from Workhuman are treating the consultation process with disdain. - No clear info is being provided on the redundancy package but it looks like it is less than generous. For a company that has made so much money, it is really disappointing to see the people who have helped build it, being treated so badly

Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. The decision to restructure was made to enable Workhuman to continue to deliver maximum value to our customers. We are heartbroken by the decision, and we’re committed to being generous and helpful with any individuals impacted and are providing additional supports through what we know are very difficult times. The process of collective redundancy is strictly governed from a legal process perspective and so we are bound by these guidelines in terms of how we work through this. This is a time of great difficulty for those involved in the redundancy process in any capacity, as well as for our colleagues not directly impacted. We are keenly aware of this. Should you have any further concerns, please reach out to me and we can discuss.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for recognizing the strong relationships, flexibility, and benefits that many employees value at Workhuman. We recognize that customer-facing roles can be fast-paced and that experiences can vary across teams. As our business continues to mature, we're investing in stronger planning, clearer prioritization, and more effective ways of working across the organization. We'd also note that while recognition awards are an important part of our Total Rewards philosophy and are reflected in employees' Total Rewards statements, they are separate from base salary and bonus compensation. Recognition is first and foremost about celebrating meaningful contributions and impact, while also providing employees with tangible rewards for the great work they do. We know there is always more to do, and we remain committed to listening, learning, and improving the employee experience as we continue to grow. Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective.
