Date Posted: 01/31/2006
Message: I arrived at Hewitt about 8 months before the major shift in direction. Back then I was excited about finding a company whose focus seemed ethical, open, and directed toward the business they were in, 'the business of people.' Despite the current low engagement reports, which I myself share, I am trying to remain optimistic, but am becoming rather frustrated with either the lack of knowledge of the people available for me to speak with, or the tight-lipped manner in which they carry themselves, whichever the case may be. I am trying to decide what skills to develop that will allow me to transition into a role which will survive the upcoming restructuring. I'm currently a CSA, so am looking for something fairly low on the totum pole, but it should be something that will not only keep me valuable within Hewitt, but also make me valuable in the industry as a whole. With the current structure I can see many paths to take that would accomplish this, but the lack of communication about the future makes me feel vulnerable and uncertain. I do not want to post out for a role that will be dessolved or otherwise hacked off within the next year. I hope some of you can help with this.
