CAREERS

Watching our staff and managers grow and develop is the most rewarding part of the work. I have spent the last 10+ years managing workforce development professionals. Seeing our team blossom and innovate to create greater impact is extremely exciting and keeps me motivated.

I love that we practice what we teach: we develop our internal talent and create career pathways within our company. I have had the opportunity to grow and learn through increasingly challenging assignments. My story is not unique—so many of our senior leaders started as frontline staff and grew internally. We invest in our people and our talent grows.

Innovation. Our willingness to try something new, our entrepreneurial spirit. We are a well-established, 25-year-old company, but we haven’t lost the curiosity of a startup. A good idea can come from anyone in the organization and be implemented. The willingness to try everything, fail, learn, try better, and succeed is our competitive advantage in the field.

I like that we help people look for jobs and create a great impact on our community. We help people maximize their potential and provide them with opportunities to effectively handle problems. Also, the company gives great opportunities to employees who are working hard and willing to learn.

I appreciate how the company and staff honor one another for even the little things. We have kudos in the beginning of meeting. It shows we care about each other, and the company appreciates what we do. It motivates me to appreciate my fellow employees and work hard for the company.

Commitment. Strong commitment helps me make productive decisions. Since we want to ensure our employees get paid accurately, on time, and without any issues, I send out email reminders to employees to complete their timecards. I also email supervisors to remind them to confirm employees’ hours and check their rates before I submit payroll.

Its openness to change and willingness to embrace new technology for advancement. We evolve with changes in data collection, staff operations, and process improvements. Grant Associates has an open-door policy and encourages employees to learn and grow in their current positions. Additionally, Grant Associates’ leadership know each of their employees by name. They are open to communication and provide equal opportunities for all employees to grow. Your efforts will be recognized if you give your all.

Grant Associates goes above and beyond and acts like a family. Everyone is treated with dignity, freedom, and respect. When people are not judged or stereotyped, they can perform and do their best. I am an Indian and I take pride in my culture. During special events and occasions, I’ve had the opportunity to speak with employees about my culture, how we celebrate special occasions, and even share my favorite South Indian cuisine, appam (a type of flat bread), puttu (Portioned rice cake), and chicken curry.

Every day is a new beginning. I don’t get stressed out even if I’m given multiple tasks for the day. I take them one at a time. You only fill yourself with negative energy by fretting. If I’m having a bad day that I can’t control, I ask my directors for assistance. I’ve never had a day at Grant Associates where I had to deal with a bad situation on my own.

At Grant it is all about helping and making an impact in the community, and I am thankful to be part of this mission by just giving my modest contribution. I like doing my job, so it gives me a smile when it is time to go to work. .

It is always a great feeling when staff members are appreciated and celebrated. This keeps me motivated all the time. The IT team’s recommendations are always taken into consideration when major decisions are being made, which shows how valuable our work is.

Collaboration. When we have effective communication, we deliver better customer service. As I trust my team members, they in return trust me. I always have full support from the entire IT team as well as the senior leadership. Resolving a helpdesk ticket was not the problem of one technician but the problem of the entire team. Thus, by helping each other, we make it easier for customer-facing staff to effectively service the customers.
