It all starts at the top! The agency's new owners (BRP) need to come in and allow colleagues to speak openly & honestly; without feeling they may lose their job or be retaliated against. Leadership speaks harshly & yells at colleagues; very bullying & intimidating atmosphere. If you cannot confidently stand your ground, respectfully, don’t work here. Team Leads bash their support group to other colleagues. Why would you do this? These are the people who support you and help you manage your desk. It's done over & over & management needs to put a stop to it immediately! Colleague issues & non-performance are discussed openly in meetings. So now everyone knows about your mistakes. Manager attempts to appease everyone; which pits colleagues against each other. Whether intentional or not, that is what happens. Whether you want to believe it or not, the morale is very low throughout 90% of the department. Talk to your team- make POSITIVE change. it doesn’t have anything to do with the market challenges, but everything to do with leadership. The major issue in the PL department is lack of strong leadership. I can’t say it reflects the entire firm as a whole, because Insgroup has a lot of great leaders and team members in general. Keep your word, and do what you say you are going to do! Work with integrity and honesty! Let people have confidence & trust in what you say.
