Bergstrom Response
3yDear Colleague,
Thank you for taking time to post your review as we appreciate feedback whether it be positive or negative. We have worked very hard over the last few years to improve the culture in the company and empowered all staff to make a difference, this has been reflected in our many culture surveys.
With regards to Leadership, it is an individual’s right to an opinion but we at Bergstrom are proud to have had sustained business growth since Covid and that is testament to the continued hard work of whole team here in the UK.
I would also like to take this opportunity to correct some errors in your review:
With regards to informing staff there has been no pay rise is incorrect. Apart from the interruption of Covid in 2020 all staff have benefited from an annual increase since 2016.
With regards to any employee’s company vehicle, in this case an Audi and not top of the range, if they choose to financially contribute to this benefit it is a matter between them and the company and as for any personal relationships within the team, unless it effects the business, it is a matter for those individuals.
We are sorry that you feel unappreciated, and we would encourage you to speak with your manager or make use of the company grievance procedure if it was deemed necessary form a work perspective. For any personal issues you are encouraged to speak with HR or seek assistance from the company mental health first aiders. It is unfortunate that you have had to resort to using an anonymous review portal as we encourage open dialogue and if the discussion is constructive, we appreciate the feedback.
As always, our doors are open to discuss matters but ultimately Bergstrom is not for everyone but those who embrace the culture and ethics of the company have, we believe, a very rewarding work life.
