Please read 'pros' the cons sadly are too many to mention. Morale at the 'coal face' is very low, and the staff are frightened to voice this. CSC used to have a good development programme for managers and leaders. All would manage 'staff' so this was a core element of their development. They would be coached by leaders on how to manage their best asset; their people. Today this does not happen. We have senior people from various backgrounds whom are terrible resource managers whom do not understand the psychology of people, treat staff poorly BUT their is no longer the oversight / coaching / development on how to improve this skill, and it's now a "real real" issue. A strategic / technical genius does not make a good team / staff builder. Development plans used to be 'real' and taken seriously. In truth today it's a box ticking exercise by most, seen as an administrative 'overhead' by managers (as they are not trained 'properly' and are given no time to do it properly in reality), whom generally don't really have the skill or experience to genuinely career coach. So the latest 'culture' is not to nurture staff, more so just put the emphasis on self development and it's 'solely' your responsibility to make it happen. We all know it needs to be a 'handshake' in reality. It's an example on how morale is affected. The company does not make its people feel valued. That's 'intrinsic' value (Maslow) which money can't directly buy and coincidently generates a longer-term and higher 'free' return on investment with respect to 'goodwill' of the workforce.
