Hello,

we are sorry that you did not discuss your concerns directly with us. We value open communication and believe that direct dialogue can often lead to more effective resolutions. Nonetheless, we are pleased to read that your manager was supportive and that you understand our vision: "The company wants to change the world by providing e-mobility services to customers"! This indicates that our communication efforts have had some positive impact. We take your feedback seriously and will use it as constructive input to improve further.

However, we have already made significant progress in several areas you mentioned:

- Career Growth & Development: While Degreed is one tool, it is not the only instrument we offer to Ellians. We finalized our Grading system which is the base for a clear and consistent Career Growth & Development plan. Furthermore, as presented in our Company Meeting, we will be implementing a comprehensive Development Path to provide clearer career growth opportunities. We also encourage all employees to take initiative in their development, this is why we implemented the additional Technical Training budget for more flexibility to support employees on their individual needs. If you have specific training interests not listed in Degreed, our Talent Management team is always available to support such requests. It's unfortunate that you did not take advantage of these options.

- Chaos, yet many processes: Elli has transitioned from the start-up to scale-up phase: what you describe is characteristic of this transformation. We are continuously working to streamline our processes in order to enhance efficiency and reduce complexity and chaos.

- Strategy & long-term goals: The Strategy team has put on much effort in communicating and sharing our long term strategic goals since earlier this year: in the dedicated All-Hands Meeting, in the weekly updates on Slack... This information is regularly emphasized in Company Meetings as well as in the general All-Hands by the Management Board and by the people who are leading the topics. Information about our strategy is therefore accessible on different channels. We regret you missed these communications.

- More VPs than departments: This point seems inconsistent, as each Vice President leads a department. Thus, the number of VPs corresponds to the number of departments.

It appears you may not have fully explored the opportunities available at Elli. For any further clarifications, we encourage you to reach out to our HR team or schedule a virtual coffee meeting to discuss all possibilities again. We look forward to hearing from you and working together to address your concerns.

It's a pitty about the experiences you describe.

Unfortunately, some of the points you mentioned are not true.

You say HR doesn't talk to you after you joined Elli? On your first day, you will be invited to a digital onboarding session lasting several days, where all new employees are welcomed. This is organized by HR and even the CHRO introduces himself alongside the colleagues who are responsible for operational HR work. All three of them point out different ways to get in touch with HR several times. We are available via TEAMS, Slack, in various official meetings and of course on site at all 3 locations and are happy to welcome every employee who comes to see us. We do not offer any further welcome meetings, as the new employees are busy at the beginning with information, new faces and various meetings and we do not want to overwhelm them even more. If you would like to talk to us, please feel free to do so at any time!

The salary at Elli mentally broke you? The salary is competitive and has been benchmarked. Individual professional experience and qualifications are also taken into account. Therefore we would have loved to listen to your opinion personally.

Vielen Dank für die Zeit, die du dir genommen hast!
Auf ein paar Punkte deines Feedbacks würde ich gerne näher eingehen:
Du sprichst von einer "IT-Arbeitskultur" - was genau meinst du damit? Jeder von uns trägt seinen Teil dazu bei, eine für alle gute Arbeitsatmosphäre und gemeinsame Kultur zu gestalten. Wir nehmen jeden Hinweis sehr ernst, wenn dies nicht der Fall sein sollte.

Gerade im Hinblick auf die von dir angesprochene "Work-Life-Balance" gibt es bei uns viele Tools, die dir große Flexibilität bieten, um Arbeits- und Privatleben miteinander in Einklang zu bringen. Du schreibst, dass ungeplanter Urlaub nicht bestätigt wird? Sollten dringende und businesskritische Faktoren gegen eine Abwesenheit sprechen, ist das ein anderer Punkt, der aber ebenfalls mit dir besprochen und nicht einfach abgelehnt wird. In allen anderen Fällen ist Urlaub natürlich möglich und darf auch gar nicht abgelehnt werden.

Zum "Vorgesetztenverhalten": ob eine Führungskraft immer "cool" sein muss, sei jetzt außer Acht gelassen. Wichtig ist jedoch, dass sie zu ihrem/seinem Wort steht, das Unternehmen voranbringt und die Mitarbeitenden fördert. Seit diesem Jahr bieten wir das "Leadership Training" für all unsere Führungskräfte an. Hier liegt natürlich auch im Führungsverhalten ein Schwerpunkt.

Abschließend ist zum Punkt "Gleichberechtigung" noch zu sagen, dass bei 43 verschiedenen Nationalitäten unserer Mitarbeitenden bestimmt nicht der gleiche Denkprozess gegeben ist. Unterschiedliche Erfahrungen und Hintergründe führen doch automatisch schon zu einer diversen Ansicht.

Solltest du weitere Punkte haben, komm gern jeder Zeit auf uns zu! Wir freuen uns über jedes Feedback und möchten uns und das Unternehmen stetig verbessern.

We highly appreciate your feedback and the time you took! We would love to support you and would invite you to an open talk - our Works Council is also available at any time!

The open culture at Elli should be visible for every Ellian. Therefore it is really sad to hear which impressions you are sharing. We hope you attended our last "Honestly Survey" to speak up for the mentioned points. There will be measures on company level to improve specific points. It would be great if you would take an active role to support the process.

Thanks a lot for your comment! :)

Natascha BiegExecutive Assistant to the CHROJuni 2024

We appreciate your feedback! As already mentioned we are about optimizing ourselves and our processes constantly. So we take your hint very serious to be more proactive and share more information!

Natascha BiegExecutive Assistant to the CHROJuni 2024

It's a pitty o hear about your experience with us. Elli is characterized by open and transparent communication and there are various formats for getting involved and actively shaping the culture. You say you are "blamed from day 1" on. We would like to know more about this so that we can take action here. This is atypical for Elli, as we live and promote diversity. Discrimination in any form has no place here.

Danke für dein positives Feedback! Das Management versucht zu jeder Zeit so offen und transparent wie möglich zu sein - schön, dass das gesehen wird!

Natascha BiegExecutive Assistant to the CHROApril 2024

I'm sorry for your dissatisfaction.

But be assured that I and the entire HR team will not ignore any problems. Quite the opposite. Together with the Works Council and the entire Leadership Team, we are working to give our employees a sense of direction and a working atmosphere that is good for everyone.

As well as everyone has to wait for the final Grading - HR is also waiting. No one receives preferential treatment or special support. We live equality - this is the base of our Elli culture.

Company cars are always a topic - but this is a matter of the contract negotiation and depends on your role. I just can repeat: We live equality.

Degreed was never meant as a substitute for development. It is a support for extending your knowledge and developing your personal and professional skills. Within the Development Paths you have now the chance to develop and to grow - take the chance!

Danke für dein differenziertes Feedback!
Vision und Mission werden gerade mit der neuen Strategie übereingebracht und mit allen Abteilungen gemeinsam erarbeitet - leider braucht dies Zeit aber wird allen Mitarbeitenden die gewünschte Orientierung und Sicherheit geben.#

Bitte beachte, dass die Verschiebung der Einführung der Job Level und des Gradings Gründe hat. Wir informieren dazu regelmäßig - zuletzt auf der Betriebsversammlung Ende März - sodass der aktuelle Stand jederzeit bekannt ist.

Zu dem Thema "mehr Frauen auf Führungspositionen" ist schlichtweg zu sagen: stimmt! Sehen wir ganz genauso.
Und das setzen wir ab jetzt mit unseren Development Path inkl. Succession Planning auch um. Mit einem Anteil von einem Drittel an weiblichen Mitarbeitenden sind wir schon sehr gut in unserer Branche aufgestellt und sind durch das neue Entwicklungsprogramm nun auch in der Lage, unsere weiblichen Talente zu fördern und zu entwickeln. Die Development Paths kommen aber nicht zuletzt allen (!) Mitarbeitenden zu Gute, sodass jeder die Chance hat, sich fachlich und persönlich weiterzuentwickeln.
Wenn du Interesse hast, komm sehr gern direkt auf das Team des Talent Managements zu.
