Article Hunger, Heart and Harmony: How Our Values Define Who We Are
By Marissa Knox / 10 Oct 2023 / Topics: Culture & careers
A company’s culture is fundamental to its success. It’s the personality that distinguishes it from other organizations. As a recruiter, my favorite question from job seekers is, “What do you value about Insight?” The answer is simple: our culture.
Rooted in our core values of hunger, heart and harmony, everything from our work and projects to daily interactions is based on this foundation.
Hunger
Hunger encompasses our continuous drive for improvement. We embrace a culture of innovation and are called to set, achieve and surpass ambitious goals. Personally, I’m always searching for new ways to improve candidates’ experiences because I value their success in the interviewing and onboarding process as much as my own.
When speaking with candidates I always tell them about the incredible opportunities for growth at Insight. But the question is: Do you have the hunger to capitalize on those opportunities?
Heart
The heartbeat of Insight is our teammates. We call each other teammates — not coworkers, peers or colleagues — because we believe we only succeed as a team.
Each year, Chief Human Resource Officer Jen Vasin holds a roundtable discussion with HR teammates on their work anniversary. She asks a series of questions, but the one that stands out to me most is, “Why are you still here?” The throughline in everyone’s answer is the people. The teammates at Insight are the reason we’re still here. We care for each other professionally and personally, and that bond keeps us energized every day. Although it may seem like a bold statement to some, I can truthfully say I feel comfortable reaching out to anyone at Insight for any need I have.
Harmony
I joined Insight alongside another new teammate in my department. We easily became work best friends. We leaned on each other as we adjusted to a new work environment, but quickly found that we could also lean on other teammates for support. It wasn’t by chance — it’s Insight’s culture. Harmony is about teamwork and knowing that we can always count on our teammates for support, even across the world.
It’s no secret our core values contribute to our thriving work culture. They’re more than just words on a page — they’re the guiding principles that shape our team and the way we do business. It’s our commitment to these values that serves as the foundation for our success now and in the future.
