We keep our team involved and challenged to make sure they recognize their role and contribution to our vision. Challenges are approached by a team rather than just one individual. We're brought together when we succeed and we stay together even when we fail. But before we can solve problems collaboratively, we all have to understand what they are. Every morning, we meet with FUTEK's team leaders to explore our objectives, discuss the challenges, and find new avenues to inspire each other. We also hold a monthly meeting where every FUTEK employee is present to discuss important matters such as monthly performance, safety, or just to announce the celebration of a birthday.
We subscribe to an open door policy where our employees feel comfortable to communicate openly with us. We recognize that there will always be a wall between employers and employees, but we have managed to make that wall as thin as possible. We don't babysit our employees, and strongly believe that they're here to grow and evolve. We know that our people do an outstanding job as long as they're tooled properly, trained sufficiently and guided wisely. Our management style emphasizes mentoring and coaching, because we don't think it's productive to boss people around. It's for these reasons, and many more, that we find our employees sticking with us.
