How EAD Does It
Culture is an important differentiating factor in today’s marketplace. Company culture drives how organizations attract and retain top talent. Developing and maintaining a culture where employees thrive and grow their careers is paramount to EAD. Our company culture is referred to as the “Trooper Mentality” and it permeates how we recruit, hire, and provide feedback to our employees. To us, being a Trooper is the most important thing that an employee can be.
Hiring Philosophy
Ensuring that our employees are fully vetted in our culture is important because of the close relationships we develop with our clients. We believe that when our clients hire us, they are hiring more than a consultant or sub-contractor. They are hiring an extension of their team.
Since our clients are bringing us on as part of their team, we want our team to be made up of individuals anyone would want on their team. EAD’s hiring process focuses heavily on the personality and morals of our candidates and if they will fit with our culture. To us, we want someone on our team that will… never quit when things get tough… step up when needed… keep a level head… and continually have the best interests of co-workers and clients top of mind. When you hire EAD, you are hiring a team of individuals who strive to embody these values. Who wouldn’t want people with these values on their team?
Right Person, Right Seat
Once we find the right person, we want to ensure that they are in the right role. People are most effective and engaged when they are in a role that fits them. We are not afraid to change someone’s role within EAD if there is a better seat available for them. Our employee wins, EAD wins and our clients win. We have found that when we get the right person in the right role, our work environment benefits, the quality of our work benefits, and our people benefit. Doing what is best for our employees is doing what is best for our clients. Doing what is best for our clients has never served us wrong.
As this mentality is so important to us, we evaluate our employees on how well they are living our values, and reward those who lead by example. Each EAD Trooper is provided continuous feedback on how they are living our core values. This takes additional time, but we feel that it is valuable to ensure that every day our team is bringing their best for our clients.
If you’re an existing client, surely you have seen the Trooper Mentality shine through. If you are considering us for your next project, our Trooper Mentality is something that we are proud of and has been a factor in our success.
