Pros

I have been at Essity for quite a while now, the management team is really good give you opportunity to challenge your colleagues and themselves. The company has a strong Health and Safety Policy and Culture, where the safety of its employees is top priority. Through Covid times the company is being really supportive towards to its employees, providing all the measures to keep us safe around the sites.

Cons

It can be challenge but quite enjoyable for who does not fear a challenge. When you start to work in there you will see a big culture difference from one place to the other.

Let Too Much Talent Go and Others will Slide Out the Door After Them

CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Opportunities to grow for many

Cons

Upper management is willfully uninformed and is not realistic about profit expectations in the industry. Unfortunately, upper management was unwilling to stick with action plans long enough to see the real results and mid to lower management who stayed in place knew better than to point out that the emperor wore no clothes. Results: too many layoffs of key people cut employee confidence off at the knees and a mass exodus of talent thereafter crippled performance levels.

Thank you for recognizing Essity as a company with great opportunity for our employees. When setting goals we use the SMART model – Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound. It is unfortunate that you felt we missed the “A” in your case. I will forward your feedback to that appropriate managers internally. We appreciate you taking the time to complete a review.
