Morgan Thomas
Director of Employee Experience and Culture
What motivates you? Personally, my daughter and husband. I want my daughter to know that, if you dedicate yourself to something you love, you can make a career out of it AND do good for other people along the way. Professionally, seeing our team thrive in an environment that values free thinking, individual contribution and personal accountability. Knowing that I am personally responsible for ensuring our people feel valued, included and supported.
What is the biggest mistake job seekers make? Not asserting themselves enough. Take ownership of your interview process. If you want the job and truly feel you’re a fit, make sure that’s known. Don’t just assume or leave that up to the recruiter to convey your interest. Interview went well? Great, make sure you close them at the end and ask for the next steps. Follow up with an email thanking them for their time and reiterating your interest in moving forward. At the end of an interview process? Make sure that final interviewer knows you’re ready to join their team. Be sure to follow up through the process and ensure that you’re doing everything you can to control the variables on your end.
How do you spend your free time? I’m a Mom… what is this “free time” you speak of? Jokes aside… I love to garden, huge music and podcast fan, always looking for an opportunity to self-educate, discuss the meaning of life with my husband & watch starry-eyed as our daughter learns to navigate the world.
What are the first three things you do when you wake up? I’m big on gratitude, so I always start my day by thanking the universe for another 24 hours and then setting my intention for the day. Next up is usually feeling my way to the kitchen in the dark so I can brew my coffee and prepare for the whirlwind that is getting a kiddo ready for school!
What are three things you’re never without? Water is number one, I love water and always, always, always have a glass or reusable bottle nearby. Pilot G2 07 pens, obsessed. My phone…usually with music or a podcast playing!
