Unum reviews

Since the new CIO has joined Unum, the information technology workers have systematically been laid off and replaced by H1B workers from India. There are likely more H1B and offshore workers in information technology than there are citizen workers. There is essentially NO career potential for an American citizen IT worker. While Unum is dedicated to diversity and inclusion, there is a noticeable lack of diversity in hiring of the highest levels of IT management. The CIO, being from India, has predominantly filled most Sr level management positions with friends from former employers. It would appear there is a prejudice against American citizen IT workers.

- High attrition in multiple areas. Leadership gives no recognition to the primary cause; the significant change in culture over the last several years, the failure to staff authentic leaders who are focused on developing staff. - Lack of compensation adjustments for long term leaders and significant reduction in compensation adjustment pool over the last 4+ years. - Allow new managers, directors to be placed or hired based on leadership’s perception of talent when they often have no experience managing people or leading anyone. Quick elevation leads to leaders who focus on what their manager will perceive as successful that will allow them to continue to move up. This eventually eliminates any true investment in those they lead. Everyone becomes secondary to their individual career goals.
