Working for one of the biggest FTSE 100 companies can be intresting, rewarding but also seriously frustrating. Im the sort that likes to know whats happening but recently it seems that staff are always that last to know about things no matter how important or trivial.

Earlier this year my employer laid off a sizeable nnumber of staff and how did we all find out? A quick search through google gave us information regarding numbers to be laid off. Even on the day itself, our CEO sent a company wide email which didnt give as much detail as the BBC were reporting. Its shocking to think that even with important messages staff play second fiddle to external sources.

The new CEO promised to shake up how staff are communicated to by becoming more open, encouraging / demanding his management team are more open and approachable and talking to us like adults not children. A couple of months on and it seems the CEO is true to his word with a number of refreshing emails being sent company wide and same day responses to staff questions. Hopefully this will continue and everyone will be pulling in the same direction.
