The Gunter Group’s Post

It was a great time trimming out the datacom rack live at the Vertical Cable booth during ISC West! Times like last week at ISC are outstanding reminders of how much more powerful and productive we are as an industry when we work together instead of against each other. Did I have to spend my time at ISC building out a rack and showing other integrators how they can do better? No - I could have walked the show floor as usual and seen a lot of cool stuff. Did I want to share knowledge and skills with other integrators? Heck yeah! Gate keeping “trade secrets” is ultimately nonproductive. Sharing knowledge and skills benefits everybody and moves the industry forward so that we all win! In true #communityovercompetition fashion, having the opportunity to meet so many fellow systems integrators and industry peers and share some tips and tricks on how they can take their installs to the next level is always a great experience. From quickly terminating keystone jacks, to labeling, to methods of perfectly dressing out patch panels, there was a LOT of productive conversation last week. For me, seeing people leave the booth with new knowledge that will change their game in a positive way is a win for the industry! Huge shoutout to VC for being such an integral partner in our day-to-day as a systems integrator and the industry as a whole. Datacom projects without VC simply wouldn’t be the same! #ISCWest #VerticalCable #TKcommunity #IT #datacom #telecom #structuredcabling #fiber #fiberoptics #CAT6 #MSP #partnership #collaboration

Could have not said it better Paul Hargreaves ......'This is why businesses must be better and embrace sustainability. It is why young people like Gracie come and work for us. And if your business wants to attract the talent from Gen Z and Gen Alpha then you will probably have to be better than you are now.' Data repeatedly shows that this desire to align your working life with your own sustainability values is not just linked to the younger generations. Your sustainability strategy is your secret weapon to attract and retain talent whilst also driving higher engagement and productivity amongst your employees. Not to mention engaging your employees helps to meet your sustainability goals which will make your CSO happy. Have you woven your sustainability strategy tightly with your employee engagement strategy? Or does it make more sporadic appearances.....a one slider in the onboarding deck....a poster in the cafeteria...an event on Earth Day? Why don't you ask your employees in the next employee engagement strategy? See whether they are clear on your strategy and what role they might have in helping meet your targets. And if you need some tips on how to start engaging your employees check out Halo by Design to see our top 7 opportunities for employee engagement. #greenhr #employeeengagement #sustainabilitystrategy

This week's Farwest Culture Fundamental goes to the very core of our integrity as a firm: HONOR COMMITMENTS. Farwest Fundamental: HONOR COMMITMENTS Do what we say we’re going to do, when we say we are going to do it. This includes being on time for all phone calls, appointments, and meetings. If a commitment can’t be fulfilled, notify others early and agree on a new deliverable to be honored. In a world where stakes are high, honoring commitments is more than a guideline; it's our pledge. At Farwest, we do what we say we're going to do, when we say we'll do it. Whether it's phone calls, appointments, or meetings, we're on time every time. And if something changes? We'll notify others early and agree on a new plan that we'll honor without fail. This principle guides us in building trust and maintaining our reputation for excellence. Join us in living this commitment every day! #FarwestCulture #IntegrityMatters #HonorCommitments #CorrosionControl
