Electrolux Home Appliances Sdn. Bhd. (Global Shared Service Center)

Strict hierarchy, lack of career planning

No Employee Share plan at all

-Requires a lot of politics to get anything done -A lot of paperwork

Some subsidiaries are far away from the global culture, did not have economic support from global and could not use/get the information and best practices for other countries.

No bonuses and you have to work until you get rate

Too many recent organisational changes in APC region with very little engagement from leadership.... maangement structure and style also mirrors Europe which isn't practical for this region. Generally, poor engagement from HR and practices/policies are not consistent,...Diversity & Inclusion culture is expoused but very Europe-centric middle management and leadership (leaders have little relevant APAC experience) and focus is not on internal growth and movement for local/APACtalents.

no downsides at all good company

APAC HR hires tonnes of foreigners to first cut a whole layer of regional people, some of which were identified as high potentials just a moment ago. They hire only foreigners and not locals, except in the case where they need people to do dirty work. As such, hiring and "internal transfers' are granted to foreigners who have no experience of the diverse APAC region. Management wastes money for expensive and redundant off-site meetings, dinners and unnecessary travels only to ask the rest to be prudent on costs. Gives out tonnes of t-shirts and mugs to try and boost morale not understanding none of these feed people's families. About to undergo another round of cuts in wages, after 2 rounds of restructuring within a year, all in the name of covid-19. No leadership from the APAC management team in taking the lead by cutting their own salaries, only so-called "leaders" trying to siphon company resources to "work-from-home". Those in the management here in APAC are incompetent and only here to enjoy their benefits and cheap travels to exotic Asian locations (beats travelling out of Europe), without trying to hire, grow or, less to say, care about the livelihood of local employees. They can talk, they sure can, but that's about it.

Organization strategy. It felt like they could not get out of their own way.

Unorganized, have to reserve vacation for shutdown
