Hacking a company’s website, and posting personal pictures of staff members, is not constructive, professional - or even legal."He added that Mirum Jakarta has always been a close,"tight-knit family" and there are several online platforms where staff can post their opinions anonymously. "Everyone knows they can speak to me or any of the management team, at any time, about any questions or issues they have," he said."We also have a number of formal channels where they can ladder up ideas, issues or complaints – staff reviews, satisfaction surveys and a monthly department reviews," he told Marketing."We even have an online platform where you can post your opinions anonymously.  Any of these channels could have been used," he added.
