We're sharing what our core values mean to us—as partners to our customers, consultants and each other. Last month, we focused on the core value of "Relationships." Heather Trumpfheller, a Flex Delivery Manager with TEKsystems Global Services, shares her perspective on relationships within our organization and how they influence her personal and professional life. "I’ve been with TEKsystems for just a little over nine years. When people ask me why I’ve stayed with TEKsystems for nearly a decade, I always say 'I am a better version of Heather today than I was a year ago and TEKsystems is a big reason why.' The support I feel both personally and professionally here is incredible. I’ve had multiple roles at the company, but one thing has remained true across the board: I am valued and I belong. Not because of what I produce, but because of who I am—all parts of me. The ERGs and Employee Networks have allowed me to integrate so many aspects of my life together. The mentorship and real conversations have empowered me to grow and show up as my best self. The flexibility the company offers gives me the confidence that TEKsystems will find a home for me, no matter the phase of my life. I trust that here I can be successful as a single, independent woman. When I look around me, I see working moms, I see women who are the sole income for their homes, I see women who are going through hardships and TEKsystems is the family and support for them in all seasons. I’ve never once questioned if I was treated differently for being a woman at TEKsystems. I feel listened to. Whether it’s a suggestion about how to increase productivity or improve the culture, to the creation of my current role – TEKsystems values my voice, listens to my perspective and advocates for my growth.”
