“I've never once had the 'Sunday night fear' since working for Quadmark.”
Companies are always quick to explain why you should join (hi, that’s probably exactly why you’re here!). Instead, we thought we’d take a closer look at why so many of our Quadmarkers choose not only to join but to stay. What influences their decision to form a deeper connection with our company and turn a job into a career? Let’s find out!
- We value their opinions
As a company that is dedicated to nurturing the growth and development of our teams, we take our people’s opinions seriously. Recently, we asked our own Quadmarkers to tell us what they think about our company. “We are collaborative, supportive, and have a people-centric, inclusive environment where people feel like their voices are heard and they are rewarded for their work,” were common themes among respondents.
As we continue to evolve, we want to make sure that the brand we’re building is in line with the company that our employees know and love. After all, our people are our power. Knowing how they feel about initiatives, ideas, etc., is crucial to ensure everyone’s voice is heard and, most of all, reflected in the DNA of our organisation.
- We welcome change
Our business is always evolving. Company culture and processes can (and really should) change due to important events, societal shifts, and other natural results of growth and evolution. This is something that Quadmark proactively embraces.
From shifting our business processes to better address the needs of our clients, embracing remote work long before it was fashionable to do so, designing accessible eLearning solutions in a time where in-person training was the standard, or creating spaces to celebrate and honour the stories, events, and causes that are important to our team members — Quadmark has consistently evolved through choice over necessity.
In the same vein, we continue to take steps that make our culture more open and inclusive for all. With a renewed focus on our DEI initiatives over the past couple of years, our dedication to learning and growing in this way has not gone unnoticed by our team.
QMers have openly shared how enthusiastic they are to be part of this learning journey and part of a company that dedicates time and resources to tackle these incredibly significant issues so openly.
“I consider myself a pretty inclusive person, but through Quadmark’s DEI programmes I’ve learned even more about what makes a company like ours, and the world in general, a thriving and safe place for all. There are always places for improvement and Quadmark continues to make strides which instils in me even more pride in my employer.”
- We encourage and facilitate connection
Our people make Quadmark, well, Quadmark. Encouraging connection among team members by organising formal and informal chat groups, company offsites, community groups and initiatives (like wellbeing walks or virtual ‘coffee and doughnut’ chats), is at the forefront of our company ethos. So is Quadmark a place people feel supported? A company people are proud to be a part of?
“Just an awesome working environment on many levels - It's a real strange one as we mostly all work remotely, but I've never had such a strong social and fun working environment with any organisation before.”
Even when Quadmarkers do leave, which of course does happen, they take the next step in their career with our congratulations and full support. Taking with them fond memories, new skills and not just a professional network, but with friendships. So when we wave them off we do so hopeful that our paths will cross again in the future. It’s no wonder many of them continue to stay in touch, work with us in a new capacity, as a client or collaborator, or even eventually return to a new role with fresh experiences and skills, making it more ‘au revoir’ than goodbye.
The reasons Quadmarkers choose to stay are varied. In our experience, the magical something Quadmark brings to the table is most apparent in our team members themselves. Their honest feedback and passion for what they do make Quadmark what it is, and continue to help the company develop and grow.
“The culture is relaxed but very busy. Everyone works hard, but no one is too busy to help someone in need.”
Which, in a nutshell, is what makes Quadmark so special and unique.
