Letter on the Third — May 2025

Dear Datamax Family,

Structures are built carefully, methodically and intentionally. Every brick has a place. Every brick matters. Bricks, of course, don’t waver in the wind or crumble with slight pressure. When your company commits to helping you build your career “brick by brick,” they’re offering a foundation that’s meant to last – not something that may disappear during challenging times.

One of the foundational philosophies you’ll find in The Little Blue Book is this (#5): "To provide an environment in which employees have the opportunity to achieve a career path with stability." Too many times in this world people are worried whether or not they’ll have a job next month. What #5 should illustrate to you is this: Your success here matters to us.

Your Success Starts with Selection.

Building strong career paths begins well before the first day of work. It starts with finding the right person, the right job, and the right relationship — all three working together. This mindset comes from the Success by Selection (SBS) program, which our managers utilize every day in their hiring. When someone new joins Datamax, we do a thorough onboarding process that includes a rundown of all the company benefits.

Next, through our Key Contact Interviews, we help them build a full-circle view of who Datamax is. It also opens up the opportunity to ask any question they’d like! It’s about creating connections , building trust, and helping each new employee immediately feel like part of the team. New employees also fill out weekly feedback sheets. This keep us informed on how we’re doing at keeping you on track through your first 100 days at Datamax.

Your Success is Supported by Consistency.

Providing a stable environment that breeds success isn't something that happens overnight — and it certainly isn’t something you can maintain without intention. Staying relevant in our mission to create strong career paths is about consistency: consistency in how we lead, how we manage, and how we stick to our culture. Staying consistent, especially over time, is a major challenge for any organization. But it’s one we embrace because it’s essential to providing the career you deserve.

Your Success is Mutually Committed.

And that commitment doesn’t stop there. It continues through our Mutual Commitment process — where we make sure that manager/employee expectations are crystal clear on both sides. No guessing. No surprises. Just a clear understanding of what success looks like — and a genuine focus on employee needs, concerns, and his or her own career expectations.

The career path you’re building here matters. The stability we strive to offer matters. Your voice in our organization matters. Brick by Brick, we aim to provide you with the stable career path you deserve.  

The Best is Yet to Be.

Your Raving Fan,
