Del Monte Foods, Inc.’s Post

Love these posts from the Ginsberg's Foods team. Great job of establishing the brand of a company by featuring the people who make the company what it is. How is Ginsberg's, a regional food distributor, going to stand out when so many products are commoditized? They showcase their people. I want to open a restaurant just to buy from this guy, and from the team that he considers family. Branding isn't just marketing to potential customers. It is also attracting additional employees and making the enterprise/company/brand more attractive to other companies as partners. I'd suggest some design tweaks and mechanics within the edit, but full props to the messages. #branding #brandbuilding

🌟 Around 2 weeks ago, our team gathered at Gloucester Brewery Ltd, buzzing with excitement and ready to take on the challenge of a pub quiz. As questions flew and our minds raced, we found ourselves in the thick of a fierce competition and it was great fun. But as the final scores were tallied, we discovered we were just 1 point shy of victory! 🏆 Yet, as we reflected on the evening, it dawned on us that the true win wasn't in the leaderboard standings. The real triumph was in the camaraderie we shared and the support we extended to a noble cause. The quiz was organized to support the Hollie Gazzard Trust which is a beacon of hope for the Gloucester community. In business, as in life, it's easy to get caught up in the race to "win" - to outperform, to exceed, to be the best. But let's take a moment to ask ourselves, "What truly defines winning?" 🤔 Is it the relentless pursuit of being at the top? Or is it the joy we find in the journey, the growth we experience, and the support we offer to causes greater than ourselves? 🌱 This experience is about fostering "Joy in the Workplace" (something very close to my heart) by celebrating the spirit of giving, supporting, and being committed to a cause greater than any single victory. So, here's to the nights we don't win by points but triumph in spirit, to the lessons learned, and to the joy found in supporting each other and our communities. Remember, great conversations and fabulous results often stem from the values we champion together, not just the accolades we collect. 🌟 Let's carry this spirit forward in our businesses and lives. Because in the end, the greatest wins are those shared in support and commitment. 💖 #BusinessJoy #CommunityOverCompetition #SupportAndCommitment

Last week, I had opportunity to represent Fisher Phillips and the privilege to share my thoughts about changing a company culture to a packed house at the Wisconsin Marine Association conference in Wausau, WI. The framework I presented included three simple points: 1.) Be consistent with the message. 2.) Be focused on a desired behavior which aligns with that message. 3.) Ensure that behavior aligns with the desired outcome. I often use my wife as the example of how she manages me using this model. Take a simple thing like buying a gallon of milk. As I leave for work, if my wife asks me to stop and get a gallon of milk on my way home, I have likely forgotten that message before I leave the driveway. If she texts me at noon with a reminder, her odds of success increase. If she calls me at 4:30pm and says 'don't forget the gallon of milk', you better believe I am going home with the milk. She messaged consistently and created accountability along the way. The consistent message: Get the milk. The desired behavior: Stop at the store. The desired outcome: Get the milk. In simplest terms, this defines not only safety culture but the overall culture of an organization. The behavior piece goes both ways. We can't tell employees, 'we are family' if the company behavior doesn't align with that message. So when considering how to change culture, a company must look at the message as well as the behavior of employees as well as the company to ensure all is aligned with a desired outcome. #fisherphillips #workplacesafety #BCSP #safety #safetyprofessional #laborandemployment #oshacompliance #marinas #marineservices #boatyards

People, people, people, people! ❣️ The core of building a company that stands out. Here is a video of how we at Strawberry started up this year after the summer holidays 🎈🍓

What a brilliant Wednesday, kicking off with this morning's Fish Philosophy training session. I’ve been looking forward to this for a few weeks, and the fabulous Jo Coulson did not disappoint! We learned all about the principles of #FishPhilosophy, but more importantly, how we can incorporate them into our roles and apply them every day in every corner of Consensus. What made this morning particularly special wasn’t necessarily being taught what Fish Philosophy is all about. It seems I’ve been applying these principles already without even knowing it. But the best bit was just being there, being present with #TeamConsensus colleagues from different departments all engaged, all present. Being surrounded by a great group of people all choosing an attitude of involvement, participation, and positivity. Many people steps out of their comfort zones (willingly!) to inject some fun and play into our interactions. And we didn’t just promise to make someone’s day – it was immediately put into action. And it felt GREAT! I’m SO looking forward to watching this come to life at Consensus – creating a culture of appreciation, having fun (you know I love that!), and being kind to one another. I'm looking forward to being more intentional with these principles, more present with and for those around me, and of course I'll be looking for any opportunity possible to make someone's day. What a #GreatPlaceToWork!

Last spring, a team of Brewster faculty, staff, and students teamed up to create a new Brewster mission video. The video explores Brewster’s core goal: preparing diverse thinkers for lives of purpose. Namely, it looks to inspire the question: What does a life of purpose look like, and how can we empower our students to find purpose in their lives? Enjoy this preview–the full video is coming soon! #BrewsterAcademy #LivesofPurpose #DiverseThinkers #BoardingSchool
