Zayo just shot itself in the foot - Developer Zayo Employee Review

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand that flexibility is important to our workforce, including working mothers. Our goal with the new policy is to balance the benefits of work team collaboration with reasonable accommodations in terms of flexibility. We will continue to be flexible to accommodate occasional work from home requirements on a needs basis, giving managers discretion to allow flexibility for their direct reports under special circumstances (Dr.’s appointments, home situations, etc.). The new work from home policy was implemented to ensure that employees work primarily from an office location unless their function requires them to be outside a traditional office, or they have an approved exception to the policy. We’d also like to point out that Zayo has other excellent benefits for working mothers and families, including paid parental leave for mothers (12 weeks) and fathers (2 weeks). We care a lot about employee feedback, which is reflected in our Chatter groups, specifically “Blunt, Bold and on my Mind.” Executives read and respond to posts that come directly or anonymously from our employee base. Based on the feedback we’ve received from the hundreds of employee roundtables we’ve conducted and our employee engagement survey that is completed by thousands of employees, we’ve made a number of positive changes over the past year that are resonating well with employees.
