Boden reviews

Very toxic culture and behaviour from management which unfortunately is trickling down and being learnt from junior employees. The Boden brand portrays itself as a fun, uplifting brand and yet all of my surrounding colleagues and myself feel downtrodden and completely stripped of the happiness we had before we started. Unfortunately many people have handed in their notice with no job to go into (many people - double figures) and yet no-one has come back to the team with an explanation nor improvement. Not sure if Johnnie knows of this behaviour in his brand but I am not sure he would want the public to know the truths of what goes on in his company - time to change Boden, stand for your brand pillars and stop telling people ‘it’s fashion’. Such bad behaviour, avoid if possible or you will doubt your self worth down the line.

Someone needs to check the discriminatory practices within the HR team, restructuring of the function resulting in only the Asian team members being removed. There is favouritism across the team, leaders only want non coloured hr support. if you are in the gang then you’re looked after even when you’re a poor performer which many of them are. Poor management capability across the function, leadership not respected by the business and its people. They set the bar for the way people are treated is this business. Nothing works, everything is just flossed over.
