\u00bfQu\u00e9 motiva a una empresa a desafiar a s\u00ed misma y competir en tuk-tuks por toda India, ayudar a las escuelas de Ruanda o recorrer a caballo la Naci\u00f3n Navajo? Bueno, por Northland Controls<\/a> Todo comenz\u00f3 con un Gran Objetivo audaz y ambicioso, seg\u00fan el CEO Pierre Trapanese.<\/p>\n

\u201cEs realmente solo una visi\u00f3n a largo plazo\u201d, dijo. \u201cY la nuestra era que quer\u00edamos ser un proveedor global de servicios dentro de diez a\u00f1os\u201d. Para hacer realidad esa visi\u00f3n, se dio cuenta de que tendr\u00eda que desarrollar una cultura empresarial que fomentara la colaboraci\u00f3n y aceptara lo desconocido, adem\u00e1s de devolverle algo a las comunidades de todo el mundo.<\/p>\n

\u201cEs muy importante estar abierto a las nuevas ideas\u201d, dijo el Sr. Trapanese. \u201cQuer\u00eda realmente animar a nuestro personal a no tener miedo de lo nuevo o lo diferente\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n

Esta disposici\u00f3n a aceptar lo desconocido, combinada con su afici\u00f3n personal por la aventura, finalmente allan\u00f3 el camino para la primera edici\u00f3n de Northland Challenge, una carrera en tuk-tuk de 18 d\u00edas por toda India en 2008. Desde entonces, el Challenge se ha convertido en una oportunidad bianual para que los empleados colaboren, experimenten nuevas culturas y realicen un impacto duradero en una comunidad.<\/p>\n

\"Northland<\/p>\n

El pasado octubre, GRID tuvo la oportunidad de acoger a 34 empleados de Northland Controls en la costa norte de California para su evento Northland Challenge de 2016. Durante dos d\u00edas, los empleados trabajaron junto a miembros de la comunidad y voluntarios para instalar energ\u00eda solar para 6 familias tribales. Bandera de Bear River de la Rohnerville Rancheria<\/a>. Su trabajo ahorrar\u00e1 a las familias m\u00e1s de $220.000 en costos de electricidad durante la vida \u00fatil de los sistemas.<\/p>\n

El Sr. Trapanese estaba orgulloso de poder participar. \u201cAprecio mucho la mentalidad de \u2018es una tarea de toda la comunidad\u2019 que implica llevar la energ\u00eda solar a la comunidad. Y era evidente que el impacto para los propietarios ser\u00eda transformador\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gracias, Northland Controls, por hacer de GRID parte de su Challenge de 2016 y por ser un ejemplo brillante de responsabilidad social corporativa.<\/p>\n
