At Express International, we understand that true organizational success transcends daily tasks. It's rooted in cultivating an environment where employees genuinely enjoy coming to work. This belief is pivotal in our approach to employee engagement and retention, ensuring that our team members not only excel in their roles but also value their journey with us.
Our vibrant work culture offers something new and engaging on a regular basis. Events like our Bring Your Own Bread (BYOB) on National Grilled Cheese Day allow employees to unleash their culinary creativity. As Shemar Davis, a back-office Auditor, puts it, "It's a break from the norm and a fun way to connect with colleagues over something as simple as making sandwiches." This sentiment of connection and creativity is also felt during our St. Patrick's Day mocktail decoration contest and our yoga sessions on National Yoga Day - activities that cater to diverse interests and promote well-being.
Inclusivity is key in our culture. For example, during National Draw a Bird Day, employees from all branches, including remote workers, participated in a virtual drawing challenge. Alyssa Alphonso, a supervisor from our remote team, noted, "Seeing everyone's drawings and celebrating creativity together really brings us closer, despite the physical distance."
We also emphasize health and fitness with initiatives like the Stride Quest challenge, a month-long competition that encourages a healthy lifestyle and fosters friendly competition. "The excitement during this challenge was evident throughout the entire organization; from the executives and tenured employees down to the entry level and new hires. Staff even created small cliques to stay motivated and outstep their competition. When people started noticing the health benefits of being more active, individuals started taking up more healthy lifestyle habits like afternoon strolls, balanced dieting and even frequenting the gym", noted Kerwayne Perry, our Training & Engagement Manager.
Educational workshops on topics like financial management and understanding car insurance add another layer to our comprehensive engagement strategy. These workshops provide valuable knowledge that enriches both personal and professional lives.
Celebrating personal milestones is equally important. Our monthly birthday celebrations, complete with cakes and custom videos, make every employee feel special. "These celebrations are something I look forward to every month. It's more than just cake; it's a reminder that we're valued and appreciated," Raven Phillips, a Customer Support Analyst.
