We believe that shared values are as important as skills and experience when it comes to building strong teams. Our approach to principle-based hiring comes to life in stories like the one that connects Chris Payne, Keith Hamilton, and Mario Williams. Chris started in the Corrugated business and, after working with Keith at a previous job, saw his leadership, operational skills, and aligned values, making him a strong referral. Keith then remembered his experience with Mario and referred him when the right opportunity opened up. This referral chain is a testament to how our values-driven approach drives success and fosters a thriving work environment. Read more: https://bit.ly/3T76tua
