Concluding our conversation, Ron takes a moment to reflect on JFE Shoji Power Canada’ s most important asset: its dedicated workforce.
“ One of the things that we work very hard on is creating a people-oriented culture – one that cares about people, their families and their sense of fulfilment in the company. Our people feel that they’ re not just contributing to our communities today, but to a better future for their children and grandchildren,” Ron finishes.“ We’ ve done a good job of helping them feel connected to the bigger mission, and we offer a high level of care and support for them and their families. There’ s plenty of people that maybe started on the production floor and have worked their way through the company into other roles, which can be rare in a large production manufacturing environment. We want our people to feel like they’ re part of a mission and a vision that’ s much bigger than them, and for them to see the positive impact they’ re having on our society.” ■
