Pros
Some members of the HR team are responsive and make genuine efforts to support employees. There is still an opportunity for leadership to strengthen trust and reset expectations around communication and transparency. The increased focus on process and structure could be positive if paired with clearer communication and consistent follow-through.
Cons
Since the recent leadership change within HR, the workplace culture feels less collaborative and more cautious. In my experience, conversations that once felt open now feel more guarded. The shift in tone has increased day-to-day stress and reduced candid dialogue. Position eliminations followed by postings that appear similar have created confusion and weakened trust. Clearer explanations of role differences would help. Morale appears to have declined, and more employees seem to be exploring other opportunities. Retention risk may be increasing in specialized roles that are difficult to replace. There is a growing perception that raising concerns may carry negative consequences, which can limit honest feedback and slow improvement.
