Lack direction - since the takeover of EdifERA, the company is lacking direction and leadership on the future for the UK business.
Integration (or lack of) - UK offices feel like separate companies working under the RINA name. No clear sense of identity. So far, the cross selling of services between UK and Italian offices has been poor.
Job security - personnel feel insecure about job prospects. Many staff have left for other companies with no great push for recruitment to compensate for the shortfall. Increasing feeling that RINA do not care about the UK office and further substantiated with cost cutting.
Communication - Upper management do not communicate decisions or company performance to staff at lower levels.
Pay and benefits - not comparable with other consultancies across the UK. Recent salary reviews were derisory and clear justification was not communicated by upper management. There seems to be a pay disparity across the business with regards to location and even within positions. No set salary bands for each position.
Morale - at an all time low. More leavers in the last four months than the last 4 years. Team socials have now been cancelled, very little positives to boost morale.
Progression - very little opportunity to move up through the company. This has caused significant staff losses.
