Pros

Majority of the folks I have encountered, within and outside of my function(HR), have been super helpful and left a positive and lasting impression. So eager to assist in finding solutions while being open to learn along the way if they were unsure themselves. I never felt as if I was bothersome. True leadership is typically exemplified without much push!

Cons

The culture in some groups tend to stay to themselves or within their own business unit (mostly folks working within the labs/in the field) and require a bit more interaction or involvement with onsite events. However, with conversation and with one person being a bit more outgoing, that can shift the whole dynamic. I have seen and experienced it myself all while seeing more members becoming involved in certain ERGs/committees onsite.

We agree that encouraging more involvement in onsite events can help foster stronger connections across the company. We aim to include employee input during team meetings and activity committee discussions, but we will consider how we can integrate this more effectively. Have a nice Week! Your Henkel Team
