In my life and in my career I have been blessed with amazing family, friends, mentors, colleagues and partners. I have always believed if you work hard, be a good person and try to help others succeed in life the world will take care of you. This week has really cemented this belief with me, I have had the pleasure to travel to Toronto to meet with a vendor who wants to partner with us at 101 Doors and Windows going forward. One of the great thing about this partnership is it feels like they want our success more than their own!! We were treated like family this week, you would have thought we have been a top vendor of theirs for years. Not to mention their core values read like this; CORE VALUES 1)Show Integrity- We consistently live our values and stand up for what's right. 2)We are honest- We communicate openly, and we do what we say we are going to do. 3)Be Positive- Our attitudes are contagious! We lift each other up with positivity, and our winning spirits inspire us to overcome obstacles. 4)Have Grit- We are people who get things done. Our passion, perseverance, and stamina make us respected, dependable, and promotable. 5)Deliver Service- Service is our promise and at the core of everything we do. Exceptional service to our customers and colleagues is what sets R-W apart. 6)Work as a Team- Our success or failure is not individual, it is interdependent. We work together to achieve better outcomes, build camaraderie, and have some fun along the way. 7)Embrace Family- The R-W family extends to our team, customers, suppliers, and communities. We hold each other accountable and care for each other as family ——————————————————————— With Core values like this, industry leading technology/products, 10/10 customer service and a want to be our partners, what more can we say but “Yes” we can’t wait to be your partner and Thank you for giving us the opportunity to work with Richards Wilcox, we are thrilled beyond belief to have your product line associated with 101 Doors and Windows. #Rolltite #Northlandgaragedoors #Canadianmade https://lnkd.in/g_qP3eMP

Cannons shaped history, workplaces shape our daily lives. Aim high, collaborate and fire away! 🔥 🚀 🙌 Can anyone guess where this picture was taken? Clue is on the cannon 😁 There are a lot of similarities between Cannons and the workplace when you think about it! 🤔 Cannons as Challenges: Just as cannons posed challenges in warfare, workplaces often present obstacles. These might include tight deadlines, complex projects, or unexpected crises. Employees must strategize, collaborate and aim their efforts effectively to overcome workplace challenges. Aiming for Goals: Cannons required precise aiming to hit their targets. Similarly, employees set goals and align their efforts toward achieving them. Whether it’s launching a new product or meeting quarterly targets, accurate aim matters. 🎯 Team Coordination: Cannons needed skilled crews working together. In the workplace, teamwork is crucial. Effective communication, collaboration, and coordination ensure successful outcomes. ✨ #cannon #aimhigh #target #achieve #goals #teamwork #workplace #challenge #communication #coordination #career #recruitment #recruiterlife #hiring

I took some time over the Labor Day weekend to reflect about our team as a whole, and came away very proud of the continued importance that Wurkwel continues to place on culture and employee development as we further our growth. In today’s world, building a strong, values-driven culture isn't just an option—it is truly essential. As we seek to expand our teams within the Wurkwel portfolio (Rightsize Facility, Office Furniture Center - Chicago, MAC Relocations, FurnitureFinders), we remain focused in our commitment to nurturing a work environment where every individual feels valued, inspired, and empowered to make a difference. In every step of our journey, we anchor our growth on key values that define who we are and how we operate. These traits, as presented below, are truly more than just words—they are the principles that guide our actions and decisions every day: ✅ Integrity: Trust and transparency guide our decisions and interactions, creating a solid foundation for lasting relationships with our clients, partners, and team members. ✅ Innovation: Our passion for innovation fuels our drive to constantly seek out new opportunities and improvements. We encourage creativity and forward-thinking, always striving to exceed expectations. ✅ Sustainability: We’re deeply committed to a planet-first approach, embedding sustainable practices into everything we do—from eco-friendly decommissioning to our Ecodrive partnership. ✅ Collaboration: We believe that the best results come from working together. By embracing diverse perspectives and fostering teamwork, we achieve more and create a lasting impact. ✅ Community: Our sense of community extends beyond our walls, reaching our clients, partners, and the world around us. Through our charitable initiatives and strong personal connections, we aim to give back and uplift those around us. As we grow, these values remain at the heart of our journey, guiding us to be not only a successful business but also a great place to work.

Ditch the Boring Offsites Last weekend, we said goodbye to trust falls and hello to high-energy activities that actually bring our team closer together with an incredible offsite experience. We embraced the unexpected and threw blindfolds into the mix (We almost lost a few team members there…) This just shows how crucial effective communication and trust are in achieving our goals. And this is exactly what we’re building at Workfully. We want to hear about your experiences, tell us an anecdote from your team buildings. Team, what was your favorite moment from the offsite? #TeamBuilding #CompanyCulture #EmployeeEngagement #WorkfullyCulture

Motivation Monday Laszlo Bock once said, "Hiring is the most essential people function you have, and most of us aren’t as good at it as we think." At The Liberty Group, we truly believe this. The right team can transform an organization, drive innovation, and inspire excellence. But finding those perfect fits? It’s an art and a science, and it requires continuous improvement and self-awareness. As we kick off this week, let's remember the importance of hiring and the impact it has on our success. Let’s commit to refining our hiring processes, challenging our assumptions, and always striving to bring the best talent on board. Happy Monday, everyone! Let’s make this week count. 🚀💼 #MotivationMonday #HiringExcellence #TheLibertyGroup #BuildingTheFuture

𝗙𝘂𝗻 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 Drew: I really enjoy spending time with my family, being outdoors, hiking, and tinkering with electronics. I like to take old items, such as cameras and record players, and give them a new purpose. 𝘘𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯: 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘵 𝘈𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦?

Other jobs often focus more on what employees can do for them, rather than how they can support their employees.
