Bewertung

Hello, 
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your experience with us. We are sorry that you did not have a good experience during your time with us. This is not the working atmosphere we pursue and stand for as a whole. We are constantly developing and an open feedback culture is very important and desired at Spread Group.
That’s why we would like to share our thoughts with you on a few points:

Career
Our organization is growing and with it the ways of working and the requirements within a role are sometimes changing. Over time, we therefore have created a separate position with responsibility for Learning & Development and thus also increased the range of internal development opportunities for all employees regardless of their position. In addition to our internal offerings, it is also possible to take advantage of job-related external training opportunities. Also we offer the opportunity to complete an internship in other departments and to develop further through this.
Career opportunities at Spread Group are also transparent.  Every open position is posted internally and externally and the interviews conducted are standardized and based on defined knowledge and skills required for the position. This approach allows us to directly compare candidates with each other and to select the most suitable candidates for the position. With this approach we have been able to develop the career of many Spreadsters internally over the last decade, from working students to Managers or to technical experts.
One of your points are not entirely understandable to us and are difficult to put into an overall context, such as “Some things are organized but it is more to show how the company takes care of it.”. We would therefore be very grateful for further concrete feedback.

Working atmosphere
The Spread Group working atmosphere is characterized by respect, transparency and diversity. We always try to be transparent also in communication, e.g., every employee is aware of the financial results (daily reports and every 6 weeks our colleagues receive an overall business update) or the strategic planning, broken down by our OKRs in plannable pieces. There are a lot of people at Spread Group, Employees, Manager and HR investing in our work culture and most of the time they do try hard to achieve that. Sadly you didn’t see that and feel different about Spread Groups's work culture and atmosphere. Flexible working hours and consideration for personal needs (family and free time) are just as important as open interaction with each other. To this end, we organize employee events, but also open discussion rounds, for example with our C-level, for all interested parties, regardless of which department or hierarchical level they belong to. We do this because regular exchange and cooperation are important values for us. Of course, where many people come together, there are also different ideas. But that doesn't keep us from communicating respectfully with each other at eye level. But it needs people who wanna contribute to this level of team work too.

Equality
Spread Group brings together employees of different nationalities, cultural backgrounds, and personal experiences. We, as a company highly value this diversity very much. So treating people equally is a fundamental value of ours. Equality is reflected by various aspects: Equality in management positions (gender ratio at HQ: 49,1% women, 50,7% men, 0,2% divers, Manager-Level: 54,6% women, 45,4% men, Director-Level: 50% women, 50% men, Chief-Level: 20% women, 80% men), equality in the area of part-time work or, for example, in the area of fair pay – especially to avoid the „gender pay gap”.

Thanks again for your feedback.
All the best,
Silvia
