Kantar reviews

- chaos continues to reign supreme at executive/ c-suite levels who are disconnected from employees - employee feedback is never actioned against in a meaningful way - lots of financial pressure to perform, even without necessary resources. Likely to increase as Bain looks to sell - highly political culture - DEI is unfortunately not part of Kantar’s DNA. Highly perfunctory/ performative approach to do the minimum and check the box - client prices increase with inflation each year due to higher labor rates because of inflation, but employees are not given (at a minimum) the same inflationary cost of living salary increases each year - right now, morale is very low and burn out is very high across the organization. Nobody flourishes when permanently in survival mode, and this has led to a significant erosion of energy, motivation, engagement and drive among employees

Aggressive new US CEO creates collapse of all client, media and solutions teams. New CEO vilifies ideas of people who speak up - now a fear culture. Chris, Andy - plant yourselves in US for a month to witness horror show. Diversity? None. Boys club with token women sprinkled in to town halls for optics. Shameful.
