Building People and Building Business: The Power of Investing in Employees

“You don't build a business. You build people, and people build the business.” - Zig Ziglar 

At TCWGlobal, we wholeheartedly believe that our greatest asset is our people, and we’ve built our strategies, policies, and company culture around this principle. 

Why? From dedicated professionals who ensure excellence to innovative thinkers who drive progress, we recognize that no two employees are the same. We’re a strengths-based organization that honors the unique talents and ambitions of our individual employees, and we love providing opportunities that build up our people and support their personal and professional growth. 

The results? We have a stronger, more unified team that feels personally valued and better equipped to serve our client base. (And we’ve received countless awards for our positive company culture!) 

Our Investment in Continuous Education 

Recently, we chose to invest in the professional goals of several TCWGlobal employees by sponsoring them as they pursued their SHRM certification. This was a lengthy commitment of 3 hours per week (after hours) for 8 weeks, and it was followed by the SHRM Certified Professional (SHRM-CP) credential exam. 

Thirteen employees chose to participate in this opportunity, and their feedback on the experience has been overwhelmingly positive!  

Impact of Professional Growth on Company Culture 

The culture impact of this investment in continuous education has been impressive and transformative. By providing professional development opportunities, we’ve been able to enhance individual career paths and improve employee satisfaction across the organization. 

When asked if the SHRM course helped her reach her personal or professional goals, Adelyn Moody, an iAlign Director, answered:  

“Yes! I've been looking into getting an HR certification for a few years now and had been asking my colleagues and people which made the most sense. It was great to have the privilege of being able to do it through work!” 

Grant Larson, who serves as a Global Account Manager, was also thrilled about the opportunity. “My career goal is to become an HR /people leader of an organization, and this only helps me get closer to that goal.” 

Kristin Borodin, one of our Human Resources Business Partners, shared, "Professional development can be time-consuming and costly, but having a company like TCWGlobal support you in these areas is unheard of. I can't put into words how grateful I am to work for a company that cares so much about their employees’ growth." 

Enhancing Client Experience through Employee Excellence 

Supporting our employees does more than increase employee happiness, however. This investment creates a ripple effect that enhances the overall client experience! Upon being surveyed, many employees said that this course had a direct impact on the quality of their work and service.  

Angelina Chaney, a Global Training Specialist, shared, "If I am able to provide inclusive, dynamic teachings to our front-facing team members to help them grow and develop, then the clients will benefit the most at the end of the day. I feel I have a great understanding of how my role impacts the business overall, and I need to always continue striving to grow myself in order for others to benefit." 

Jenay Dao, a Global Account Manager, added, “In my role, I heavily work with the client and their workers. Including communicating HR standards and employment laws and regulations. Having this knowledge will help me become more aware of these situations and could potentially prevent errors.” 

Our Commitment to Our People – And Our Clients! 

As we look to the future, TCWGlobal remains dedicated to our core belief that building people is the key to building a successful business. Whether through professional development opportunities, company-wide health initiatives, life-enhancing benefits, or efforts to create a positive environment at the office, we are committed to prioritizing our people – along with their growth and development.
