Staff Spotlight: Jason Pope’s Remarkable Transition and Dapthversary In our commitment to celebrate the incredible journeys that enrich our team, today we're spotlighting Jason Pope, marking one year with Dapth. But Jason's story starts even before he joined us, embodying a narrative of ambition, resilience, and transformative growth. Jason's journey into the tech world began with a bold decision to pivot his career entirely. Leaving behind his role as a workshop supervisor and electrician in the construction industry, he embarked on an academic journey, diving into a Bachelor of Commerce, majoring in Business Information Systems. It was this pursuit of knowledge and a new career that highlighted his unmatched tenacity. With the goal to align his work with his academic growth, Jason sought a part-time role that would not only support his studies but also his burgeoning career in technology. This search led him to Dapth's doorstep — not by chance, but by choice. Without a position available, his initiative and drive were so compelling that we created a role just for him. Jason’s story is a testament to the idea that when you align your career with your passion, the opportunities are limitless. Now, as he approaches the completion of his degree and eyes a full-time position with us, Jason's journey is a beacon for anyone considering a career change or seeking to align their work with their passion and studies. His practical, grounded approach to his work, informed by his diverse background, has made him an invaluable asset to our team. As we celebrate Jason's Dapthversary today, we're not just celebrating a year of employment. We're celebrating the courage to pursue a dream, the determination to make it a reality, and the transformative journey that follows. Here’s to Jason, who reminds us all that it’s never too late to chase your dreams, and sometimes, all it takes is knocking on the right door. #Dapthversary #CareerChange #LifelongLearning #InnovationInAction #teamculture #workanniversary #wedu

Exciting news & quick story time 📣 I’m thrilled to announce my recent move into the Marketing Manager position at Swell Partners! 😊 The work is so exciting, and I genuinely look forward to each new challenge. While thinking about what to share in this post, a recent exchange with our CEO, Cari Gatto, came to mind. A couple of weeks ago, after a few consecutive fumbles, I openly acknowledged an area where I could improve. I loved her response and was surprised at just how much it struck me. "Square pegs don't fit in round holes," she said. And that she wasn’t in the business of making them do so. This resonated with me on a deep level. I often exist in spaces that hold up a mirror to my "squareness." I have been labeled as "sassy and aggressive" rather than brave and confident, marginalized based on my economic status, and confronted with outright racism and misogyny. Cari's reassurance meant more than she probably realized. As a proud Cuadrado, I've always embraced being a 𝘴𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘳𝘦. I'm grateful to work in a place that values and celebrates this. In a world where we've all felt the pressure to conform, I imagine many can relate to the journey of finding their place in the workplace. Leaders, let's make it a priority to foster an environment where employees know that individuality will be valued and celebrated. #happyworkplaces #happyworkpeople

ICYMI Super excited about my new adventure at Groundswell! And if you saw my post and didn't know what I was getting into...here's a summary. (Also, if you're in the #CSR or #socialimpact space, let me know as I'd love to chat and pick your brain!) So what do we do? Groundswell is a corporate giving and volunteering platform that helps increase the impact 💰 and reduce the administrative burden of corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs. Most employees have no idea (or they forget) about their company matching programs and those funds never make it to charities. And if they do request a match it can take up to 90 days to get there 😱 We're focused on empowering employees to be super givers and making it easier for companies to roll out these programs. The team is amazing and I can't wait to see what we can do (also, if you have a matching/giving/volunteering program, don't forget to use it!).

One of my red threads (what I love) about Vistage Worldwide, Inc. is the opportunity to learn from our #Vistage speaker experts like André van Hall! Andre became blind at the height of his career. He shared how he (and we) can deal with unforeseen change. If you would like to learn more or to hear my story, www.vistage.com/marktaylor. #vistagelightstheway

They say good help is hard to find, but what if you’re looking in the wrong place? Businesses can be too focused on attracting new employees to the detriment of nurturing their existing talent. So, should businesses start looking closer to home? Philip Clare, Matthew Walsh, and Stephanie Brown, all started here, at Muckle, as trainees and are now corporate partners. In this article, we share their journeys, how their experiences have shaped their careers and the importance of engaging and retaining our people. 💻Click here to read: https://ow.ly/nOI350TOh76

I've been busy interviewing a lot of people for Laborer and HEO roles. ❔️ I always ask, "What do you enjoy most and what are you good at?" The MOST common answer from young and old alike is some variation of, "I love working with my hands and seeing the finished product, seeing the transformation I helped create working hard with a team." So, make absolutely no mistake - there are lots of people who want to work, lots of people who love this work for what it is! Young people who think this work is cool and old-timers who want to stay in the game for as long as their bodies will allow. ❔️ I also always ask, "What do you enjoy least or find most challenging or frustrating?" ↖️↗️ This is where the generations diverge. The younger ones hate being yelled at and being expected to sink or swim. They want to feel competent and to be successful. They want to learn. They crave mentorship. The older folks, reflecting on longer careers, most commonly express regret for lack of balance. They don't mind working hard, but long hours and travel have kept them from their families. They're proud to have been able to provide, but they've missed a lot, and can't get that time back. What this means for hiring: If you don’t have a mentorship culture, change it, and then promote the hell out of it! 📣 If you haven't figured out how to balance schedules, find a way and then promote the hell out of it! 📣 If you already have these things figured out, know that a lot of your competitors haven't yet. Promote the hell out of it! 📣 If you dont, how will your future hires know? 👂👀 📸: Banks Construction Company | Kayla Roberson ***** P.S.
