Pronouns - The HR team consistently and egregiously use incorrect pronouns for colleagues. This is important to highlight, as misgendering someone can have a deeply negative impact on their wellbeing at work. What makes this especially troubling is that the HR team should be setting the standard for inclusive and respectful behaviour. If HR isn't a safe or supportive space, where can employees turn?
Cronyism - There is widespread cronyism throughout the organisation. Once a people manager joins, they tend to bring in numerous former colleagues, creating insular, exclusive sub-groups. A notable example is the HR team. This dynamic stifles diversity of thought and often leads to stagnation and bias in decision making.
Culture Shift - Camunda has undergone a significant cultural shift. In my experience, the focus on employee wellbeing has diminished considerably. Many employee-focused initiatives (jobs, retreats, social events, etc.) have been cut, expectations and workloads have increased. This has led to burnout and employees feeling anxious about the security of their roles.
