Re-introduce the position of TECHNICAL manager. We lost too many good people when that change was implemented, resulting in a serious brain drain and loss of valuable experience. "People manager" position is a joke! My people manager didn't even know who to call to order stationery supplies or copier paper, since there were no admins left to handle those chores.

Remove the nine block employee evaluation / decimation system.
Free coffee machines. OK, that's two suggestions.
Remove the Jack Welch mentality! And have Management that gives a cr-p!
Get rid of the 9 block. Leadership would actually have to start liking employees first, not just look at them as a number and expense.
Eliminate any product released more than ten years ago. Sunset everything associated including facilities and equipment. Pull what is left back to two locations with complete vertical integration.
Dump the HPD process! A lot of self reporting only to get a pre-determined % raise.
Stop bragging about and giving awards for military guidance tech being exported to china.
One change. Leader$h!t stops manipulating quarterly earnings. That solves a lot of problems.
The one thing I will change is I am decreasing the number of HON employees by ONE!
I would add more layers of management to help me do my job more efficiently
There’s no reason why there should be meetings for 5+ hours across 4 levels of management
Unfunded investments that make it to the STRAP plan as key initiatives
Require they always offer voluntary RIF to all employees before involuntary RIF
Would reduce or eliminate involuntary but would put a huge burden to hiring process to replace 90% who volunteered
Accountability.
With the CDC stating that 80% of all Omicron cases in the U.S. are among the fully vaccinated, I would make anyone with a green lanyard/badge holder get their 1st & 2nd boosters, wear a mask at all times, social distance & get weekly Covid testing. Thanks for caring about our health & safety!
We need time to do real training, not the accelerator videos, to learn software updates and share lessonsearned. Return to the expectation of a certain amount of overhead devoted to training for support groups. We have no breathing room to improve processes so we can be faster and more efficient.
I would make everyone wear a mask at all times inside of any company building.
Well, Too many layers of indirect bosses
A business culture where stockholders, management, and employees are regarded as co-equal parts of the overall business. Begin by returning risk to the investor community by eliminating furloughs and other short-term actions taken to meet quarterly or annual forecasts.
Honestly? Without being a hater or a lover of the company? I'd have Honeywell revise their quarterly make-the-numbers approach to an annual make-the-numbers approach. I think they could sell it to the market, and keep the stock multiple high. The big upside would be a reduction in quarterly churn, which is really painful for execution of engineering projects and supply chain management.
Reinstitute meritocracy.
If you’re better and want to move up, you can.
If you’re the expert, good ole boys don’t get automatic veto power over your ideas.
If you do all the work, your slacker coworkers don’t get your raise pool.
The system will correct itself quickly once that’s in place. That’s why it can never happen.
@omk My site has had random testing for years.
All FAA sites do.
Respect… what it means to me
One change....Random dr-g testing
