How We’re Protecting Company Culture

(Click here to expand)

When a company has been in business as long as Movéo, you have to assume we’re doing something right.  Movéo has a long-standing reputation for valuing its employees, and tenure on the team is evidence of that.  Over 25% of Movéo’s employees have been with the firm for more than 10 years!

After 26 years of seamless, fun and natural culture, Movéo has recently formalized a committee designed to protect, promote, and enhance one of the most important assets the agency owns — its culture.

The Culture Committee is made up of five employees from various departments within the agency:

  • Sandra Tracy, Human Resources Manager (management liaison)

  • Stephanie Hides, Resource Manager (spokesperson)

  • Angela Kayat, Director of Consulting & Engagement (management team liaison and wellness coordinator for Chicago office)

  • Ben Coffee, Digital Media Manager (wellness coordinator for Oakbrook Terrace office)

  • Stephen Foy, Brand Strategist (charity coordinator)

The committee meets bi-weekly to discuss upcoming events and activities, current hot topics within the agency, and ideas for new and exciting culture initiatives.

Already underway, Movéo’s first formalized healthy potluck is taking place this July. The dishes are required to be either low calorie, low fat, low carb or gluten-free.  During the event, employees will have the opportunity to share recipes while discussing health and wellness tips.

Also in the works is planning for Movéo’s annual summer event.  This year, the committee opened up voting to the staff and the clear winner was a day of fun at Arlington Race Track.  Activities will take place Friday, August 15th in one of the race track’s luxurious suites with open bar and food. Employees will be allowed to bet on their favorite horses while socializing with co-workers from inside the air-conditioned suite.  There will even be prizes awarded for the best dressed!

Additionally, the Culture Committee recently launched and employee survey in an effort to gauge employee satisfaction and gather candid insights.  The results of the survey will be shared with the firm with a corresponding action plan that addresses any “issues” that may surface while also sharing the positive feedback.

There has been interest amongst other members of the staff to join the committee and so, soon to come will be a rotating membership where other employees take turns sitting in on meetings, bringing their ideas and suggestions to the committee and getting their voices heard.
