Inconsistency in policies, opportunities, and leadership - Anonymous employee Kantar Employee Review

There’s undeniable talent and great potential here, but when it comes to work-life balance, inclusion, and meaningful support for employee wellbeing, the company often falls short of its promises. While flexibility and people-first policies exist on paper, in reality they are applied inconsistently — not just in terms of accommodations, but also in access to opportunities. This creates an environment where outcomes can feel unpredictable, and sometimes personal. Employees are left unsure of where they stand, which erodes trust and psychological safety. This has been especially challenging in a year marked by significant retrenchments, which have contributed to a culture of instability, anxiety, and silence around difficult topics. The company is vocal about its values and invests heavily in the optics of inclusion and wellbeing — but too often, these efforts feel surface-level. The deeper systemic issues around consistency, equity, and leadership accountability remain unresolved. If the company wants to position itself as a truly progressive and inclusive workplace, it must go beyond branding. It needs to hardwire fairness, transparency, and trust into how decisions are made and how people are treated — day in and day out.
