We are disappointed to hear about your experience. While we hope to maintain the unique characteristics of all our different divisions, change and acquisitions can be hard. When companies come together there will often be a cultural shift.
At Schneider Electric, being open is one of our core values. We encourage transparency and most importantly ethical behavior from everyone, everywhere. We expect all our employees, regardless of their level in the organization, to demonstrate ethical leadership behaviors every day. This is our commitment and a critical element to our culture. Managers and employees receive the same time off (with extra days accrued after a certain amount of years with the company) and holidays, and if someone is abusing this or an employee wants to escalate any concern, we encourage them to use our R&ED (Ethics) Line, which is a 100% confidential, 3rd party neutral reporting system. All reports are investigated and corrective actions are implemented.
At Schneider Electric, we take pride in our diverse and open culture. We are working hard to build one of the most inclusive organizations in the world, but experiences like yours will not help us get to that place. If an employee is feeling frustrated, we encourage them to discuss the situation confidentially with a local HR rep. In addition, we’re in the process of training all managers and employees on how to avoid “Unconscious Bias” in the workplace. We take diversity seriously and are committed to building a more inclusive community for you and all of our employees.
Our policies are designed to support our employees to manage effectively their work-life and family needs at different stages in life. Our newly launched North America family leave policy was redesigned with our employee needs in mind, and we believe policies like this will lead us to be a more inclusive and diverse company and ultimately, a better long-term home for our employees.
We are continuously focused on developing as a company, and your feedback has been escalated for further investigation. Thank you for your willingness to share your honest review.
