In more than 37 years with a company, you’ll see a lot of changes.

帕特里克·汉弗莱斯在海森公司工作. in Duncan, South Carolina when it was acquired by Barry-Wehmiller in 1997. We applied a lot of the same strategies to Hayssen as we did in other companies we acquired. 帕特里克注意到了其中的区别.

“Just the way that you were actually treated by the company, 你被倾听了, 这意味着很多,他说. “Especially in what I do, having the engineering department listen to what I say. 他们可以画零件,我制作零件. And if we work together, which now we are really doing, we can make a better part for our customer. We can make them faster and with even better quality than we had before. 所以,这是一个很大的变化.”

The Hayssen brand is still a renowned name in the world of packaging and its now part of BW柔性系统,外围十大菠菜app的一个 BW包装 公司集团. BW柔性系统 makes packaging machines that fill and bag thousands of food and non-food products. So, 当你去当地的杂货店时, 你在货架上看到的东西,比如面包店的东西, 糖果类零食, 冷冻食品, 新鲜农产品, 奶酪, 还有更多, 能在BW柔性系统公司的机器上包装吗. 当涉及到非食品产品时, 他们的机器帮助包装宠物食品, 个人护理, 制药, 农业, 整理和整理文件和邮件, 工业产品.

Patrick has been part of our company as we’ve traveled further and further along in our journey of Truly Human 领导. He’s seen many of the steps we’ve taken to create a company of caring, 这不仅包括鼓励外围十大菠菜app的人民倾听, but training them to listen as well through our internal Barry-Wehmiller University.

在充满关爱的文化中工作, rather than a traditional manufacturing environment of command and control, 对帕特里克的工作产生了巨大的影响.

“这让我更放松,”他说. ”因此, I'm more comfortable with what I'm doing and I can think more positively about what I'm doing. Making a top-quality part, but most of all, making it in a safe manner. My mind's focused on what I'm doing and not, ‘Well, this didn't go right with them.“这只会让一切变得更积极.”

就像Barry-Wehmiller的许多人一样, Patrick describes the atmosphere at Barry-Wehmiller in very specific terms.

“The best way to describe the culture for this company to me is, we're family,他说. “外围十大菠菜app都是一家人. 这是一个伟大的家庭. 外围十大菠菜app彼此关心,每天都表现出来. 有新人加入,嘿,外围十大菠菜app牵着他们的手. And if we have to, we walk them through whatever they need to do. 这里的每个人都想帮助这里的每个人. We look out for the good of each other as well as the good of the company, 但外围十大菠菜app也会互相照顾. 这表明. 你绕着工厂走一圈就明白了.”

Barry-Wehmiller CEO Bob 查普曼 explains why the word family comes up so much in our company:

外围十大菠菜app的工作场所, when people feel cared for by leaders who have the skills and courage to care, quite often people use the word “family” without even thinking about it – they are in an environment where people feel cared for by each other…

And that’s one of the reasons why the most transformative concept within Truly Human 领导 is when we suggest, rather than viewing those you lead or work alongside through the lens of their role, 你把他们当成某人的宝贝孩子.

Traditional leadership or management conditions us to view people as functions to get them to do what we want so we can be successful, 不是因为外围十大菠菜app关心他们. Thinking of the person next to us or the people within our span of care as someone’s precious child changes that dynamic. It helps to bring some of that unconditional care to the equation because we recognize their inherent dignity and humanity. 它们不是一个功能或角色. They are a person, cared for just like I am cared for and deserve to receive that care from others.

And that sense of care not only extends to our team members, 但是希望, 外围十大菠菜app业务中的所有利益相关者.

家庭的感觉, I think it trickles all the way down to our customer because you want your family to be happy,帕特里克说. “嗯,我也希望我的顾客高兴. And I want to provide them with a top-quality part and get it to them as fast as I can. 我想让客户继续运营下去. And if they're down, I want to get them back up and running as fast as possible.

“在我工作的领域, we have gotten it down now to where we can have a customer usually running maximum within a week, 希望能过几天. 如果外围十大菠菜app能在几天内完成, the next time that customer needs those kind of parts again, 他们给外围十大菠菜app打电话. They don’t look anywhere else, they call us because they know we're going to take care of them. 他们的家人. 所以,这是外围十大菠菜app的首要任务,是外围十大菠菜app的客户.”

Patrick does a great job of describing what we mean when we say, “更好的工作, 正规博十大app排名” Our hope is that the culture of caring in our workplace will cascade throughout the lives of the people in our business and those who interact with the people in our business. Not only our customers, but the families, friends and neighbors of our team members.

“我自我感觉良好,”帕特里克说. “I try every day to do a little better today than I did yesterday. And in the machine shop I'm working in, I took over that area in January of 2020. When I leave that area, I'm going to leave it better than I found it. And if we all can leave things better than we found them, we'll be better.”
