Our Voices of McKim & Creed series continues with Senior Designer Erica Stark in Wilmington, N.C., who shares how individual effort and small improvements can contribute to the success of our entire company.
“Being a McKim & Creed employee-owner influences the way I approach my work by encouraging me to take greater ownership of the quality, efficiency and impact of what I produce. As an employee-owner, I understand that the effort I put into my work can directly contribute to the company’s overall success and, in turn, benefit all of us financially through the ESOP and the value of our ownership in the company.
Even small improvements can make a difference. If every employee-owner across our business units worked to be just 1% more efficient, completed one additional task before the end of the day or found a better way to approach a process, those efforts would add up across the company.”
