Cheapest exploiters - Anonymous employee Venterra Realty Employee Review

As the COO for Venterra Realty, I view one of my primary responsibilities to ensure that all employees who choose to work for Venterra are provided with a great working environment and are treated with the utmost respect and fairness. Because of that, your comments are very disappointing to me. My hope is that no employee in the organization would feel the way you indicate. Understanding that we don’t always get things right the first time, I would like to talk to you about your concerns and understand why your feelings are so different than the vast majority of the employee feedback we receive. A further discussion will give me the opportunity to better understand where things have broken down with your personal situation and attempt to straighten them out. Regarding compensation, we have always strived for our compensation to be comparable with the top companies in our industry. We don’t get this right in every situation, but overall we measure ourselves against industry compensation benchmarks and continue to make adjustments as needed. We also continue to improve the employee experience in non-compensation areas as evidenced in the last year with new initiatives to give all employees a paid day off for their birthday, improving maintenance uniforms, increasing paid time off around holidays and increasing leasing commissions for inside staff. Our long stated goal is that our employees should share in the success achieved by the organization, and we will continue to have that as a key strategic objective. We are far from perfect, but we are trying to continuously improve the employee experience. As such, I would love the opportunity to speak with you as I am sure I could clarify some things from an organization perspective, and I suspect that we could learn a few things from hearing your perspective. I would encourage you to email me or call my cell phone, both of which is available in my internal email signature line. Alternatively, you can arrange a completely anonymous on-line chat through Ethicspoint. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to discuss your concerns further.
