In the Loop.

Little Blue Book Principle #8, Keep Everyone Informed, carries a ton of weight in the Datamax Way of doing things. Consider this: According to one report, poor communication in the workplace accounts for a loss of 7.47 hours per employee per week. Keeping colleagues in the loop at all times. It’s worth its weight in gold.

It’s pretty simple, really. Keeping everyone informed ensures sustained strength in company culture.

Principle #8 in our Little Blue Book is a big one when we talk about the foundation of who we are and how we roll as an organization.

Simon says ...

“Keeping Everyone Informed is a key to company culture here. It wouldn’t be in the Little Blue Book if it weren’t. If you are unsure about something or have a concern, you should never hesitate to present that to the appropriate parties. It’s how we operate as a company. It’s how we roll.” - Barry Simon
