IDeaS Company Culture: Unifying Goals, Personal Achievements

At IDeaS, a strong focus on customer success never detracts from employees’ own professional development. In the Career Circles program, a facilitator guides team members on a journey of self-reflection to assess career direction. “They encourage people to question their decisions and goals and help them figure out what next steps they may want to take,” said Coral Brevig. On Brevig’s team, skill-building time is built into the work week, and one-on-ones with managers provide opportunities to discuss development. By providing dedicated avenues for growth, IDeaS empowers career advancement.

In Wendy McCurdy’s 11 years at IDeaS, she’s seen team members encourage and support each other whenever help is needed or a complex problem calls for an all-hands-on-deck response. She’s also benefited from colleagues’ flexibility and understanding in balancing her professional life with the personal things that matter most. When her daughter has a sporting event or academic activity, she’s there. She can be fully present during family camping trips — and work remotely if need be. “The ability to be able to work a full-time job and still do all those things is pretty amazing,” said McCurdy.
