-: I love the most about my job
the fact that I could impact very directly
and very meaningfully, the critical asset
of the firm, our people.
I could influence the value proposition
that we offer to them, whether it's compensation,
whether it's benefits and perquisites,
whether it's certain policy matters.
I could create for them
the kinds of learning tools
that would serve them well both here,
and any other place that they might choose to learn.
So I am of a mind that, notwithstanding
my long tenure with the firm,
work is a continuous work in progress.
There were folks for whom
their ultimate satisfaction with their career path
wasn't gonna be with us, but the fact
that they had a good experience with us,
even if they opted to move on someplace else,
they could take those learnings
and scale them into something else.
That happy employee who may have moved on
to do something else could ultimately
become a customer of ours, if they had a
positive experience with us.
And so I always looked at how we could
add value to the life of our employees
such that they felt that spending time with us,
giving of their time talent and treasures,
inured favorably to the company
but also did something special for them as well.
