Pros

Had great leadership team with Olly Harris and Janine Chidlow Was fun and supportive Used to have varied client base

Cons

Culture changed completely, now getting rid of staff without a care in the world Bleeding dry those left behind, no thought for its people, business has one focus which is the bottom line Losing clients left right and centre, internal feeling is that of a sinking ship

Hello, and thank you for you review of Resource Solutions. I, too, enjoyed working with Olly and Janine, but people's ambitions change and they pursue new opportunities. This is true at every level, from the post room to the boardroom. We still have a varied client base, and we cannot look back at previous leadership teams and become mire in nostalgia. As a business, we need to continue and do all we can to remain a viable employer, a successful business, and a provider of gainful employment. In my opinion, we still have a fun and supportive culture. That is borne out by the incredible efforts our people made for this year's Charity Day, under very different and extremely trying circumstances. The well-attended internal webinars on Cultural Conversations and mental health also demonstrate our transparency and supportiveness. So, while there is always more we can do to support our people, I believe it is important to acknowledge the good work that our people are already doing. In the same vein, this year has been one of extremely tough decisions for our leadership. Their priority was to ensure the business continued to be viable, and could support as many people as possible. There were no easy decisions to be made, and I hope that our people understand this. I can assure you that our Global Leadership Team (GLT) thought long and hard about the decisions they made, and that none of them were made lightly. The GLT are all too aware of the sometimes negative impact those decisions have made on people's lives. Many thanks, Kirsty Adams (Global HR Director, Resource Solutions)

Pros

The company does value work life balance however with the recent merger the team structure changed and the management team really needs to add structure to make it more cohesive however they only care about meeting numbers

Cons

Management does not care in performance of employees unless they are not meeting numbers
