TiER1: A Culture of Service

I’ve always enjoyed helping people. I think that’s why I started my career as an elementary teacher. While at times it was a challenging job, I feel that some of the most rewarding moments in my life thus far were experienced in the classroom or working one-on-one with my students. The feeling that comes with making an impact in someone else’s life is immeasurable. I have seen this same dedication to service demonstrated in TiER1’s culture, and I appreciate and am proud to be a part of that. Through my work with TiER1, I’ve been able to help our clients meet their performance needs through the solutions I help design and deliver. And lately, I’ve thought about taking the next step by getting involved in the community.

In my experience, TiER1 really ‘walks the walk’ when it comes to service to others, both inside and outside of the office. The company supports its employees and clients and cares about their goals and well-being. Whether it involves providing opportunities for personal career growth, independent pursuits, or even supporting the development of our clients’ in-house teams through our co-sourcing model, the company has displayed a willingness to build and invest in relationships. I think TiER1 recognizes that relationships are crucial to the success and health of the company as a whole, and it’s refreshing to see a company that committed to its people. Recognizing the importance of people in companies is more the exception than the rule, at least in my experience. This interest in its employees and clients is what sets this company apart for me. Additionally, many of TiER1’s employees actively volunteer their time to helping others through their work for non-profit organizations, community events, and in the little day-to-day things they do to give back. It’s this special culture that I admire, and in turn, want to perpetuate in my work and personal life.

Sometimes in the hustle and bustle of day to day life, it’s easy to lose sight of what truly matters. Winston Churchill said: We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give. Taking some inspiration from Winston, TiER1, and its many team members who give back, I’ve decided to become a mentor. I am excited to give more of myself and make a bigger impact in the lives of others.
