Early years that wasnt an issue since 2009 and beyond that has become a trend with Dyson. Secondly is the HR department, company has grown so fast and some positions have outgrown the employees. There is a lack of responses for time sensitive issues or taking weeks to get answers to issues that need quick responses."

"Focus more on the people, thats Dysons biggest asset. Check the pulse more often; knowing what your employees think and feel can be valuable in making sure that your vision is supported by their actions"
