Dwellworks Culture

Dwellworks has its own culture, independent of of any state, country or continent in which we conduct business.  Our culture is universal and can be summed up in the company’s five values: integrity, teamwork, performance, innovation and fun.

There is one moment in particular, among many others, that has really stood out to me as a defining moment of the attitude of this company.  On Tuesday, Max, Kelly, Rob and I went to our Detroit office so that they could present their new global supply chain plan to everyone.  Our Detroit colleagues are incredibly nice and their office has the same, positive, energetic atmosphere at the one here in Cleveland.  I felt very welcomed by their team and the presentation was a success.  However, all of these things I have come to expect from Dwellworks.

What I didn’t expect was that as we were leaving Kelly Dorsch, the director of the supply chain in Detroit, gave each one of us a hug.  This never would have happened at any other job I have had.  Hugging your colleagues isn’t common in the US, which is why this perfectly describes Dwellworks culture.

Dwellworks isn’t common; Dwellworks is very uncommon and almost unreasonable at times.  In this one moment Kelly showed that this is more than a job and her coworkers are more than coworkers.  This very idea gives more meaning and purpose to life, taking the focus off working simply for money or power or because its what is “supposed to be done” and putting the focus on building lasting relationships with others, which in the end is what will last and what matters most.
