Enterprise Supplier Management, Chief of Staff Office
A HARMONIOUS APPROACH
Refreshing takes priority here
Whether logging time with family or hitting the gym, Cynthia Puryear relishes the ability to take time off and feel rejuvenated in her role. What makes it happen? She credits a culture of understanding and flexibility, along with different resources (think: live exercise classes) that facilitate unplugging. “At the end of the day, it’s not one-size-fits-all, and I love that,” she said. For example, that could mean taking advantage of initiatives like “Invest In Yourself Days,” which Puryear enjoys using to read up on public relations industry material and concentrate on her own development.

Having work-life balance makes all the difference in the world. I find myself more refreshed, more rested and more creative, which all leads to me being a great contributor to my team.
Dave Rodgers
Unit Manager, Credit Card Division
SOLID SUPPORT
A considered approach to remote work
Remote work suits each individual differently. As a unit manager in the credit card division, Dave Rodgers finds the remote experience “very rewarding,” highlighting its benefits for collaboration, teamwork, work focus and problem-solving. And that environment supports more than just productivity. Rodgers said the company created the space to have open and substantive dialogue around social injustice over the past couple of years. “The level of vulnerability in sharing concerns and the willingness to listen created even closer relationships across teams,” he said.

Connecting with customers and users

And while her team has tallied plenty of wins thus far — like making improvements to Capital One’s Auto Navigator tool — the leader is amped up for the future: “I’m excited to build on our momentum and reach for the stars.”
