Dear former employee,
thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We take your input seriously and are constantly trying to improve. Below, we would like to address some of the points you raised.

Regarding our people managers, we would like to address that we have in-depth training in place for all employees who are leading others, to guarantee that they are well-trained on topics such as ensuring fairness and equality within their team, giving appropriate feedback and providing transparent recruitment processes, among others.

Considering we have employees from over +60 nationalities working here, diversity & inclusion are and will always be top priorities for us. Also, ensuring there is no favoritism and giving every employee the opportunity to further grow and develop is very important to us. For this reason, we have clearly defined processes and guidelines regarding promotions and salaries that are accessible to all employees and from which nobody is excluded.

Indeed, we recently slimmed down our workforce by 7% in selected teams. This was an incredibly difficult decision and we recognize the impact of it. The communication was prepared thoroughly and done in a personal way. Our founders spoke to every employee involved personally, and the rest of the company was informed on the same day. There have been several company-wide as well as department-specific follow-up meetings in order to clarify the reasons and answer any questions that came up.

We would be happy to get more in-depth feedback from your side to understand how we can improve, so please feel free to reach out to us at hr@holidu.com.

Thank you for your time,
the Holidu HR Team

Ensuring a good work-life balance is very important to us. For this reason, we give every employee the opportunity to manage their time as they see fit through a flexible working schedule and clearly defined objectives. We also have formally defined processes and guidelines regarding work life balance and even offer trainings on time management and other relevant skills that help navigate through work.

Indeed, we recently slimmed down our workforce by 6-7% in selected teams. This was an incredibly difficult decision and we recognize the impact of it. The communication was prepared thoroughly and done in a personal way. Our founders spoke to every employee involved personally, and the rest of the company was informed on the same day. There have been several company-wide as well as department-specific follow-up meetings in order to clarify the reasons and answer any questions that came up.

On the positive note, we are glad to hear that in general you enjoy working with your colleagues and find team cohesion to be good at Holidu.

Dear colleague,

We appreciate you taking the time to give us feedback. While we are happy to hear that you are enjoying the work environment and work-life balance at Holidu, we will have a close look at your points of improvement.

At the same time, there are some topics that we would like to address. It is true that there are no salary increases during the year unless for promotions for urgent roles, and this is also openly communicated. We do annual performance reviews on the basis of which individual salaries are adjusted once per year (also without a promotion), and we also have tangible, in-depth criteria when it comes to promotions, which you can find in our internal Confluence documentation accessible for all employees. Our people managers and HR spend an extensive amount of time each year reviewing, calibrating and discussing those reviews in order to ensure fairness and transparency.
Similarly, we also have clear guidelines and expectations regarding our bonus structures; the goals are set in advance, communicated clearly to the respective employees and calculated equally across the same function.

We would be happy to hear more in-depth feedback from you at hr@holidu.com, as we know there is always room for growth, and we are constantly striving to improve.

Thank you for your time,

Your Holidu HR Team
