Its the People!
When people say "its the people at QDC" that makes this a great place to work, of course I agree. We are now a collection of 68 men and 15 women; of sons, daughters, parents, grandfathers and grandmothers, sisters and brothers, Millennials, Gen Xs , Gen Zs and a few distinguished baby boomers among the crew. We are lucky to have people from every corner of the globe to add to our diverse blend of ideas, attitudes and delicious food sharing experiences. I am often asked to describe the culture at Q Design + Construct to people we interview, who are hoping to find the right place for them. In answer to this, I explain it is a place of collaboration, respect and where there is an abundance of great men who are kind, respectful, clever and know how to make you laugh. A place where one of my sons and daughter have worked and both enjoyed the connections they made. I think that’s a fairly solid litmus test of a healthy place to work. It happens to be International Men’s Day, not the only reason for this post, but which prompted some reflection that I wanted to acknowledge with gratitude.
