Thank you for sharing your perspective. We understand that rapid growth and acquisitions can sometimes create uneven experiences and contribute to feelings of disconnection. Setting ambitious goals is part of our culture, but we also recognize the importance of ensuring those goals feel realistic and supported. Our CEO, Hervé Sedky, and the leadership team are focused on building a more unified culture where colleagues feel connected, supported, and able to grow. We are working to improve alignment across the business, strengthen communication, and ensure our goals are both challenging and achievable. Creating an environment where our teams feel valued and set up for success is central to our long-term vision.

This is the kind of place successful, ambitious, talented people leave. Success, hard work and talent isn't rewarded.

We're sorry to hear this negative feedback. It's certainly not what we envision for any of our employees' experience of working for Emerald. As you haven't provided any context it's hard for us to come back with specific guidance but what we can say is that we're confident that reward and recognition is an integral part of our strategy and we aim to build on our annual awards programme to highlight exceptional colleagues who have gone above and beyond to deliver.
