Our people and culture

One of the best things about working here, is working with the people that are Infineum. When I joined Infineum I immediately felt I had joined a group of people that I could consider friends and they are friends. We have a very low atrition rate. People stay here, they want to work here. If you look outside there you see people working for 10 years, 20 years, even 30 years. I like the people here. They are very knowledgeable and they come from different backgrounds, and they have huge experience. One of the key attributes of all the colleagues at Infineum is that enivitably they'll drop everything they are doing if they think that you need help. It's such a friendly environment. You can go up to anyone and say 'hey I need some help on this matter' and usually they'll sit down, put aside some time and teach you how to do it. So that's how it works here at Infineum. I like being able to try and help people achieve what they want to achieve. You get the opportunity to work with and mentor younger colleagues and I particularly enjoy that because you get a chance to share your experiences. And they are very knowledeable about the business and they are willing to share that knowledge and experience with newbies like us. For me, when I first came into Infineum, all this was very important because of course you need people to help you out in the first few months. It's not so hierarchical that you're not allowed to talk to different people, in fact it's encouraged. At Infineum, in fact I found a world which is far beyond my expectations and is actually a very different place from where most of my other friends are working at. Because of it's size everybody knows each other, so it's a good group with a good community spirit.

I find Infineum a really positive place to work. That sound like I'm just reading from a brochure but is actually a really positive place to work. The work environment at Infineum is very open, it's fair, people trust you when they give you a job. You are empowered to do your job without people micro-managing you. It's a professional environment but it can be a fun environment too. If we spend a significant amount of our time here working, it's very important that we know each other and get along, and we can have a good time while we work. We do a lot of things with the community, so a lot of folks work for United Way or Habitat for Humanity, so I see that in a lot of people that I work with and that helps to build that trust. I like working for Infineum because of the culture we have in this company. It's very people centric which is something that I like very much. We really care for people. And it's not just words. It's shown in the way we manage issues and the people. Very flexible in terms of the things that you need to take care of at home. If you've got to go to a doctor's appointment or pick up a child from school or whatever. There is a tremendous amount of mutual respect here. From contractors, to visitors, to customers that come through and of course between teams. We have people from across the globe so you will not feel lost here; it's like home. There's a lot of respect for everyone. For different jobs, for different cultures, different levels of people. Everyone has something to contribute and everyone's contribution is really valued. In many interviews with people, we find out a lot of people, other than looking for a career and money, they are looking for a home. And I think that many who stay here a long time consider Infineum a home.
