How has your career grown since starting at the company?

I started my business development role here with just 6 months of software sales experience. My manager knew my aspirations of becoming a Sales Exec. and helped me achieve this goal in less than 2 years. At Workhuman, not only are you given the technology to be successful, but you have amazing resources around you to grow professionally.

Bobby

How do you make yourself accessible to the rest of the team?

I like to consider how each team member communicates, meeting them where they’re at instead of expecting them to match my style. Ensuring that a person feels comfortable and valued builds trust and encourages collaboration. Appreciating and recognizing colleagues creates a ripple effect of gratitude impacting overall team well-being and engagement.
