Management at South32

Managers are extremely approachable and are treating me well. Where things go wrong is in terms of feedback, performance, and role requirements. Managers are too busy and washed off with their work most of the time. This hinders the development of grads sometimes. As I mentioned earlier, this is not a manager's problem. This is more of a system failure.

I believe the managers provide access and time when possible and are a wealth of knowledge.

The managers here are good and they are approachable. I personally haven't had to deal with them alot but I feel as though if you do reach out to them, they do have the time for you.

Managers are very accessible and open for all discussions. They show care and want to assist in current/ future development tailored to my goals.

Michael Crowd is quite accessible and approachable. He makes an excellent mentor, providing valuable guidance and support. Internal communication is generally clear and frequent.

I think my latest manager does communicate well with the department as well as recognition. But very difficult to get a hold of, and maybe not sufficient level of clarity in communication.

Most of the upper management are all really approachable. The feedback and updates around the program are quite sparse though

I can speak to my manager whenever I am at work whenever I want if they are walking around but I can also book a meeting if they are available to talk to them.

All managers I have had have been great, some colleagues managers are not as good

Depends on individual company. For me, I am still waiting for new manager. Missed mentorship for few months. It was really helpful for our career development.

My superintendent is excellent so can't complain there. However, upper management is pretty out of touch with how their actual workers are feeling - there is an us vs. them mentality that needs to be improved. Performance feedback is sometimes provided but praise is hard to come by - people tend to forget when people started so expectations are high.

Amazing managers. In my opinion my MEM should have less workload to be able to give more time to graduates (if/when needed) down the graduate program.

Yes the management interaction is very good, weekly/fortnightly 1 on 1 meetings as well as frequent catchups throughout the week. Dedicated to ensuring graduates have all the resources they need to maximise their learning.

Depends on line leader. Some are very good at mentoring, others not so much.

Managers should allocate more time to catch-up, more responsive to employees.

They make the time to check in and support you (at all levels).
