Our team in Data and AI was recently pushed hard to complete the OHS survey. Initially, only about 45% had responded, but then management started chasing everyone who hadn’t filled it out yet.
At this point, I’m really starting to wonder — is it actually voluntary and anonymous?
Anyone else getting the same pressure or feeling the same way?
@147 I agree to a point . But with 20 plus years , the same issues prevail and expose on the survey , namely 1. Promotions are going to the right people ( nepotism) and 2. Career advancement is limited ( both are interlinked )
I believe the “ abdication “ of working through the findings by appointed employees is the absolute problem !
Let the managers , senior managers get their hands dirty and stop off loading to others and calling it a critical experience.
Pepsi is a good company but with a huge change in leadership culture and abdication of leadership over the past 6 to 7 years . Let’s hope it changes
As a HQ L11, I do believe it’s anonymous. However, your writing style can give you away so comments need to be carefully worded to maintain anonymity. I do believe that senior leaders are likely “highly encouraged” by HR to get their employees to fill out the survey. If the only people who fill out the survey are new, somewhat happy, recently promoted, etc, then HR and leadership get a message that all is good and no improvements are needed. But if everyone fills out the survey (even if you leave open ended questions blank or put No Comment) then your area gets a more realistic picture of how things are actually going. Leadership then assigns a group of employees to come up with solutions. Leadership reviews the solutions and approves them. Employees attempt to implement solutions. If things improve, leadership takes credit for improvement. If they don’t, leadership asks the group of employees for better ideas. Either way, at least a group of employees is trying hard to make life at work better for everyone. I think we would all be better off with ideas put in place by other employees than by senior leadership, so honestly, coming from a person not in HR, I would recommend filling out future surveys. I have been brutally honest on surveys for years and was not laid off.
I never took the ohs and I also never had a covid shot. I told them no and they moved onto whatever disaster, more pressing than I, occurred. Out with the lay vrp and glad
as no longer giving a flippoo,
I just gave mangement a well deserved oop youse
let them eat it
@d4 There's your PepsiCo intimidation. So much for Speaking Fearlessly.
HR = Do as I say, not as I do!
They can see comments you put and they know who did it. If something happens between you and a manager. You write it down it’s obvious who wrote it. My own manager told an employee that in front of the team. He would know who wrote it.
@cw 100%. Avoid writing anything. They can tag you based on your input. Your PDR will suffer or you'll be on the following layoff list.
As a L11 manager myself I can tell you it is anonymous, however you do see your team stats as to how many completed it and yes we had a huge push from upper leaders to be 100% this year! Now they do show us the scores and we do see what you all write in the comments and I can pretty much tell from there which of my team wrote what because personalities are hard to hide unless you let AI write it for you! Certain words and phrases are dead giveaways if they are unique to your teams. Personnel who are angry about things they bubble up and most of those are pretty obvious who wrote them! Best advice never fill out a survey when you are angry!
@aw You are right. Dave does some questionable things, and right now it’s Sekar who is acting in ways that are not right. Since the people involved are not directly in his reporting line, he can brush it off and say procurement handled it. What frustrates me most is that Indians lack of courage to speak up and the willingness to twist things rather than stand on integrity.look at his leadership- Craig , David who have no clue what’s happening, rest Indians- all of them will bulldoze you if that’s what Dave wants. Manta’s organization is the same mentality. There is no one team it’s all each on your own.
It's voluntary, not anonymous. They know feels it out. Their PDRs are based no input and I don't no why anymore. Just a way to justify firing people or giving them a "1." The prep for Dec layoffs.
I refuse to do it. I found out it is not anonymous as they claim.
