Pros

As a company, it good. Lots of benefits given to employees. Work life balance.

Cons

Management uses workstreams as a tactic to prepare for “the next level,” even though they are not part of anyone’s KPIs. When you lead a workstream, you essentially take on the role of an EVENT ORGANIZER, and if the output looks good, you’re rewarded with a promotion—regardless of whether your actual work performance matters. What makes it even more unfair is that promotions are still given to individuals who have been suspended or had their integrity questioned, as long as they maintain strong relationships with stakeholders and are assigned responsibilities covering multiple regions.

Good Day, Thanks for sharing your perspective. We appreciate your contributions over the years and are glad to hear you valued our benefits and work-life balance. While we can’t discuss individual cases, we would like to clarify that promotions at Henkel are based on performance and potential, through fair and structured process. Disciplinary actions are held seriously, but they are not held against an individual permanently – employees can grow and demonstrate improvement. Participation in our workstreams (our employee resource groups) is voluntary and not a factor in promotion, but they play an important role in fostering sense of community, building networks, and providing employees opportunities to hone their leadership, collaboration and project management skills. We value all feedback and remain committed to keeping our processes fair and transparent to everyone.If you’re open to it, we’d like to encourage you to contact your former HR BP to discuss your feedback in more detail. Your Henkel Team

Pros

The ability to learn on the job training by other experienced Maint Electricians is definitely a benefit.

Cons

Trying to grasp all the different technical terms used internally by the Henkel Maint team is a huddle I have to overcome.
