Thank you for the feedback. We agree this year has been challenging, but we are starting to see huge inroads. This kind of effort takes time and is not a straight path, given the economic downturn and its impact on our clients. The current economic challenges did lead us to another gut-wrenching decision to streamline resources further as we weather the storm. Like a real storm, it will pass and we hope that you are part of what will be a success story. If you have additional questions or concerns, we encourage you to speak to any senior executive or join us at the next AMA with Liz.

Pros

There was a time that Shift Paradigm, formerly Trendline Interactive, had many benefits to working there, both implicit and tangible. However, in recent times these benefits (not actually heakthcare benefits) have become more and more restricted, leaving only a few items left for employees to utilize. Some of the benefits that you have as an employee at Shift Paradigm include; - Remote working conditions and flexibility - 14+ days of paid vacation - Work from home stipend (offsetting internet costs) - Wellness stipend - Opportunity to work abroad

Cons

Over the last several years the working environment at Shift Paradigm significantly deterioriated with the highest contributing factors being; - The lack of available resourcing to consume and produce quality work leading to overbooked workloads with no support for extended periods of time - Consistent changes in internal policies and teams leading to confusion around roles and responsibilities and resulting in a ''everyone does everything'' sort of environment - Lack of career planning for employees leading to no clear trajectory for how one can grow in the organization along with being shifted into roles that an employee may not want due to a desperate team on that account - Lack of transparency over policies with grey areas specifically surrounding the vacation policy which is ''unlimited'' - Emphasis on new sales opportunities over already earned clients, leading to a lack of support and focus needed to equip the client team with necessary tools and employees to succeed, leading to the deterioration of work quality

Thank you for your feedback, we appreciate your time and candor. We are working on many of the issues you raised because we care about our employees and the culture surrounding them. We have several teams working on different aspects of issues raised in the latest employee survey that will provide initiatives and solutions to many of the issues you raised. I do invite you to contact me directly. I would love to understand more about the benefits becoming more restricted. I am unsure if I understand this comment, but I would like to so that I can make a difference, as the US benefits are my program. -Michelle Hytry, Director of HR
