What sets O'Kane Enterprises apart after 30 years? It’s not just the longevity of our employees or our track record of success—it’s a culture of ownership, accountability, and collaboration. At O'Kane, employees don’t just execute tasks; they lead, innovate, and take pride in their roles. With clearly defined responsibilities and a shared commitment to growth, our team thrives on mutual trust and empowerment. This isn’t a top-down operation. It’s a collective effort where every contribution drives the company forward, turning work into a shared journey of success.

What's the secret ingredient to a great team culture? 🤔 We asked our team what they think makes for a great culture at Legalite, and the results are in! 💛A culture of talented, hardworking, down-to-earth, and kind individuals who support each other and are encouraged to be themselves 💛We accept each others' differences, and respect what everyone uniquely has to offer 💛We foster a culture of collaboration and mutual respect 💛We support, motivate and celebrate (in fact, we share monthly "shout outs" for each other where we express gratitude for each other and celebrate wins) 👏 The common thread? It's the WHOLE team that contributes to the culture, and not just something that "comes from the top". What would you add? ✨ [ID: two team photos side by side against a yellow background.

Here’s how we’re working to build trust through collaboration… 🤝 Creating an environment where we openly share resources — whether it’s time, experience, or skills — is key to building trust in our team at Coatings Unlimited. We encourage our employees to share their knowledge and collaborate on projects, fostering the people-first culture we value so much. This not only strengthens our team but also empowers each individual to perform at their best. When our employees feel supported and connected, they’re better positioned to be able to deliver high-quality results. And that spirit of trust and collaboration gets passed along to our customers. Our commitment to collaboration and trust isn’t just good practice; it’s a competitive advantage that sets us apart as a coatings partner. 💪✨ #Teamwork #Collaboration #TrustMatters

We’re not just a team because we work together. We’re a team because we trust, respect, and care for each other. I used to think that simply completing projects and meeting targets defined a successful team. And sure, getting the job done is essential. But over the years, I’ve come to learn that the best teams—the ones that thrive and endure—share something deeper: a genuine sense of connection. When we trust each other, we create a safety net for innovation. We respect one another's ideas, even when they differ from our own, because we know that diversity of thought makes us stronger. And we care about each other as people, celebrating wins together and lifting each other up in tough times. The real magic happens when we go beyond being colleagues and become supporters, listeners, and motivators. When we work together, it’s not just about the “what” or the “how,” but also the “who” and the “why.” To my connections: How do you foster trust and respect within your teams? Let’s learn from each other’s experiences.

Taking a break from NAC to bring you the continuation of the ABCs of Collaboration . We're on to - G - Give Credit Where Credit is Due: In an interdisciplinary setting, it's essential to give credit where credit is due. Recognizing and celebrating each other's contributions is crucial for not only boosting morale and building trust, but fostering creativity and strengthening our connections with each other and with the very important work that we do!  When others feel valued, they're more likely to share creative ideas and solutions, driving innovation and progress, and celebrating others’ successes builds stronger professional relationships and a more cohesive team. When we build each other up, we not only make our collaborative efforts stronger, but we create an environment where everyone thrives. Let’s keep lifting each other up and celebrating our collective success!

Do you think setting a mission and values help achieve your goals?

Calling all culture champions! Are you here? As companies scale, I've seen them struggle to preserve their unique culture. Both at sclr labs and beyond, I've witnessed teams seamlessly integrate diverse talents and maintain their momentum like clockwork, and those who struggled the moment new members joined. This is why we're rallying for change! Raising the Bar (RTB LDN) is gearing up for an event focusing on this very topic. We want to spotlight companies at Series A and Series B stages that are setting the bar high for culture preservation. Here's where you come in: help us find these TRUE CULTURE CHAMPIONS!

Or have you seen one where every team member radiates enthusiasm and passion?Give them a shoutout in the comments.
