Minpunten
Randstad is so heavily metrics based, it has completely forgotten the people element of the people business Employees at VP level are promoted rapidly while managers or below wait years without promotion Ridiculously high percentage of internal turnover at every career level, due to unattainable metrics Turnover causing overwork, loss of bonus, and eventual quitting of most experienced employees Bonus structure heavily based on factors outside an employee's direct control Toxic and immature management who rule by finger-pointing, fear, and blame Micro-managed workplace breeds frustration, discontent and paranoia Zero communication or strategy from senior "management" Only company-sanctioned items may be placed on desk Extremely bureaucratic and inflexible organization
