Fast Enterprises Response
3yThank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on what FAST is doing well and for the thoughtful suggestions.
Several of your points are regarding relocation so we will start with some thoughts on relo. Relocation topics such as how to reward folks for moving and ways to allow for flexibility for folks who want to move to or stay in a specific location are a frequent topic in management conversations. The ability to offer all of these things has changed over time due to employee feedback and to our project and employee growth. Project and employee growth have allowed for more flexibility and options on locations. We always use location preferences, skill set and project need when moves happen. It is true that sometimes, employees may have fewer options because their specific skill set and experience is needed in a certain location. We expect these conversations and these processes to continue to evolve.
Regarding FAST retention, something we learned is that the reasons people leave FAST has remained the same and were not actually related to work from home. We were also surprised that work from home was not the main reason employees left. As far as the most common length of service of employees who leave, it also remained the same and it had always been: folks with 1-3 years. Retention is also a common topic for conversation and we are always interested in how we can retain top talent.
If you are open to having a conversation with your PM or HR, please reach out to talk more specifics. Thank you again, we appreciate you taking the time to write a thoughtful review.
