The day after CTIA 2012, iQmetrix -- along with client Connectivity Source and partners ProtectCell and Phobio -- donated money and volunteered time to Habitat for Humanity, to help rebuild homes destroyed by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The following is a blog post written by Kelly Markewich, iQmetrix Enterprise Account Manager, about his experience volunteering that day.

iQmetrix Authentic Leadership

iQmetrix just finished up a company-wide training program available to all employees. It was called Authentic Leadership. It consisted of a one-day session, customized for iQmetrix and delivered by Bob Hornsberger of Whole Person Training & Consulting of Regina. Over 140 employees in four offices (and a few visitors from our satellite locations) took the training. Perhaps we shouldn’t say “finished,” though. We should say “started.” It felt more like a beginning.

While we’re not really in the movie business, we haven’t bothered telling Thu Tran, Cody Lee and our many other talented employees.

As a result, our dynamic, flexible and passionate iQers keep outdoing themselves with cool stuff like this video. It’s hard to describe the culture of iQmetrix. Sometimes you’ve just got to see it in action:
