Recent shift in leadership style within the department created a challenging and unsupportive environment • Leadership approach at times felt condescending and unprofessional • Concerns raised about management behaviour were not meaningfully addressed, creating a sense of bias and lack of psychological safety • Unrealistically high expectations placed on the team without adequate support • Limited empathy shown during periods of employee distress and heightened anxiety • Inconsistent communication from senior leadership, including instances where key information (such as early closure confirmation on Christmas Eve) was not communicated, resulting in unnecessary pressure and embarrassment for the team • Increased pressure during senior absence periods without sufficient structural support • Department culture negatively impacted wellbeing and morale

I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience working at the FPA . The onboarding process is exceptionally well-organised and designed to make new employees feel welcome and fully prepared from their very first day. The staff across all departments are professional, collaborative, and genuinely supportive, fostering a positive and inclusive working environment. The FPA places a strong emphasis on safety and compliance, ensuring all employees are well-trained and equipped with the knowledge to maintain a secure and effective workplace. It’s incredibly rewarding to be part of a company that values its people while prioritising safety and professional development. I would highly recommend the FPA as an outstanding place to work for anyone seeking a meaningful and fulfilling career.
