O&G Industries, Inc.’s Post

Did you know? Out of the many talented individuals who apply to join our team, less than 1% become a part of our family. Yep, 1%. This isn't because we enjoy saying no, but because we are ultra-selective. We believe in fostering a team that shares our values, dedication, and passion for excellence. It's not about making the easy choices; it's about making the right ones. 🌈 Why am I sharing this? Because it's a testament to the incredible level of talent, dedication, and hard work that each member of our team brings to the table. It's a reminder that in a world full of choices, choosing to not compromise on standards is a rare and valuable trait. To all our employees, this is a huge shoutout to you for being exceptional! And to those looking to join our team, we're excited by the prospect of what you can bring to our ever-growing family. Remember, it's not about being a number in a pool of applicants; it's about being that one in a thousand who truly stands out. Let's continue to aim high, support each other, and create an environment where excellence is not just expected but celebrated. #TeamExcellence #RecruitmentStandards #QualityOverQuantity #JoinOurTeam

Culture eats strategy for breakfast says Peter Drucker. Culture is not about office decor or fancy coffee machines. Culture is how employees behave in critical situations. Great culture is…..when employees feel like they belong and are treated with respect…..positive employees who respond well to change….a place where great employees are rewarded and developed. Everyone thrives in different types of environments. That is why I love Culture Chats at Boehringer! Culture chats allow potential employees to have an intimate dialogue with current Boehringer employees to ask about our great company culture. So happy that my company realises that not only does culture eat strategy for breakfast, but it also eats change agility for lunch and innovation for dinner.

Celebrating six years of RE:DISCOVER this week has been a moment of reflection for me. Four years ago, I was drawn to this business for several reasons that continue to drive me every day. Firstly, the opportunity to recruit internationally has allowed me to immerse myself in diverse markets, employment trends, and laws. Working across different time zones, from early mornings with Australia to late nights with the US, has given me the freedom to recruit anywhere, and I absolutely love it! Secondly, the categories we represent are filled with genuine NPD and technological advancements. The constant innovation in the categories we recruit for keeps our work exciting, with something new and category-defining always on the horizon. Thirdly, our brilliant candidates and clients are the backbone of our success. We are so lucky to have their trust as we support them in making significant life and business decisions. Finally, the team at RE:DISCOVER is nothing short of fantastic. Working alongside great friends like Craig Sharman and Astrid Sharman makes every day feel like fun as opposed to work. Here's to the next six years of growth, learning, and success! 🎉 #REDISCOVER #Recruitment #InternationalRecruitment #Teamwork #Innovation

Did you know 90% of Fortune 500 companies have Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), yet only approx. 5% of companies compensate for their ERG Leads? I am happy to report that Samsara is part of that 5% that recognizes ERG Leads by providing a spot bonus for all of the work we do on top of our day jobs to provide a diverse and inclusive environment for all. How cool is that? In a time where DE&I efforts are gaining less traction at companies, I am grateful to see and be part of this recognition/continued investment. A huge shout-out to all of our ERG leads/committee members for their amazing work building a more inclusive & diverse workplace for all. Getting hired is one thing, having a place where you belong/feel included is what will make you stay. A huge shout-out to Adebola Morton, Nikki Klepper, Kirsten Mitchell and Lynita Taylor, EdD, MBA for leading the way!

A few years ago, when I was somewhere in my mid twenties and just taking the first tentative steps into my career, I saw a post that stuck with me for many years. The post was by Orsted, they were celebrating one of their female engineers who’d recently been promoted. What really stood out was that this particular engineer had been promoted while she was on maternity leave. To me this was the benchmark for a progressive, forward looking and supportive workplace. Knowing that your contribution continues to be valued even when you’re not in the office or actively working on a project. That’s what a great employer looked like to me. I shared the article with a friend, we both agreed that this would be the dream. To be able to work hard, make our mark and still be valued and progress within our field while growing a family. Fast forward roughly five years and I’m sat in a playpen with my 8 month old daughter, very much in the depths of my second stint of maternity leave. I absent mindedly check my emails and there in my inbox is confirmation, I’d been promoted to Account Director. I’m not ashamed to admit I let out a little squeak, gave my baby a massive squeeze and did a happy dance. I’ve been with Camargue for seven years, from senior account executive through to my current position, I’ve seen the business grow and evolve and now as an Employee Owned Trust it’s firmly in the hands of those who make the business great, it’s people. It often feels rare to find a workplace that sees it’s people as people, not as cogs in a machine. But that’s what I’ve found, that’s who I work with. First and foremost, we all work for each other, we all support, guide, and build each other up. In doing that we ensure we’re the best we can be, so we can provide the best services and advice to our clients. So what I’m trying to say, other than I really love where I work, is this - the opportunity to nurture doesn’t just belong to those who choose to be parents. Nurturing colleagues and employees, seeing the potential and encouraging excellence should be at the core of every company, regardless of size or structure. Looking around your team, seeing the commitment and the enthusiasm and celebrating it every day is, in my opinion, the best way to create happy and successful team members.

More and more companies are making the necessary adjustments to language and expectations for team members. "We're a family" is something that feels good but ultimately isn't serving the company and team best. Making cuts, promotions, and fires is a necessary part of a healthy team that, let's face it, you can't really do to your actual family! The more important point that companies need to start embracing is that genuinely caring for those on your team should not be mutually exclusive from holding each other accountable and trusting each other.
