Avantages

Being able to hand in your notice Central location of offices They often pay well because they struggle to recruit and retain staff

Inconvénients

Incredibly high staff turnover from all departments Clueless managers who don't have the relevant experience to do their roles An inner circle of minions controlled by the owner who has created an "us vs them' culture. The owner is a manipulative bully Finger pointing and blame a daily occurrence with no leadership to drive anything forward. The company always claims to 'be changing' but this record has been playing for years.

Thank you for leaving this glowing review. It is so important for our colleagues to buy-in to our strategy and the goals we have set – and this certainly seems to be happening right across the business. First-class event delivery is always our top priority for our communities – and we continue to exceed expectations. I’m really proud of what we are creating and the impact we are having. This is down to everyone at GovNet, so a big thank you to you all. When both our customers and our colleagues are happy, we know we are on the right track! James Tucker.

Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful and positive review of your time at GovNet. Your feedback really captures what we are striving to build here - not only in terms of salary, benefits, flexibility, and a healthy work/life balance, but also the culture that underpins everything we do. Your description of “a strong sense of family, teamwork, and looking out for one another” particularly resonated with me and perfectly reflects the environment we aim to create. I appreciate your comments around “trust-based management”. Empowering our people and showing genuine trust is essential to keeping teams engaged, encouraging new ideas, and helping individuals truly flourish in their roles. I also note your comment on “ a real sense of achievement”. While sales can be challenging at times, it is incredibly rewarding to see our events come to life and to recognise the positive impact they have on the communities we serve. Thank you again for your review, and for all your hard work and commitment over the years. I wish you every success in the future. James
