Diversity issue. They do not listen to employees. Good old boy system on the enterprise team. This weakened my morale and made me intimidated and less effective at producing

Significant planning occurs for our annual kickoff as we want to provide our employees and partners a robust overview of the tactical action plan that will be employed to achieve our goals. Often well attended and received, the breakout sessions create a stimulating learning environment that capitalize on the diverse talents of the participants. We acknowledge that diversity and inclusion have an impact on company culture from attracting prospective employees to retaining talent. We believe we’ve built a corporate culture committed to excellence. Diversity provides a robust environment to create cohesive solutions while developing team momentum and harmony. We encourage open dialogue in the interest of achieving a mutual understanding whether through informal or formal means such as Glassdoor and employee surveys. In addition to providing positive reinforcement to achieve results, managers are encouraged to acknowledge employees’ contributions so they are aware of their importance to the organization. While you parted ways with Connection, we encourage any employee who has concerns about their experience to engage their Human Resources Business Partner so organizational harmony can continue to thrive.
