At Supple Pack, we recognize the importance of a motivated team. In our production-oriented industry, prioritizing mental well-being can be challenging. Many of our team members engage in physically demanding roles with long hours, so creating a supportive environment is crucial. Right from the start we’ve set certain standards to be maintained across our teams. For blue-collar roles - we're committed to providing a comfortable working atmosphere. It has to be well-lit, be ventilated, and have ample space to move around. Further, we believe in meritocracy. We empower our team members to grow into bigger and more demanding roles. A testament to this is shown by our team members as many senior leaders start off as machine operators. Therefore, those who show initiative and take on responsibilities are encouraged to advance. We also offer mentorship, additional responsibilities, and growth opportunities. For the white-collar roles, employees at Supple Pack are entrusted with significant responsibilities and autonomy. We embrace a hands-off approach to leadership so people can follow their instincts. In case things go south, senior management is ready to intervene, but that’s strictly in emergencies. Supple Pack’s values and priorities are communicated clearly, allowing division heads the freedom to capitalize on opportunities and drive growth. With our flat hierarchical structure, we empower our team to take substantial strides in their careers. Our commitment extends beyond product innovation; it encompasses the well-being, growth, and development of every member of the #SupplePack family. We believe in fostering an environment where all our employees thrive personally and professionally, with open communication, support, and well-being programs as the pillars of our #workculture. #teamwork #workenvironment #productpackaging

Ankur Sharma, co-founder Rebel Foods, and Lakshman Gupta Kanamarlapudi, co-founder of Qapita, recently engaged in an insightful discussion at the 11th National Conference. They delved into the profound philosophy and objectives behind the implementation of ESOPs within Rebel Foods, highlighting the power of employee ownership in fostering a culture of shared success.   At the heart of Rebel Foods lies a commitment to cultivating a culture of genuine ownership. Ankur Sharma passionately revealed that their journey centers around empowering every team member to embrace not just a role but a sense of co-ownership. Why? Because they believe that when employees see themselves as stakeholders, it ignites unparalleled dedication and passion.

🥩📉 In what is a significant restructuring move, Colorado-based mycelium meat startup meati™ has cut its workforce by 10% and shuttered its pilot plant as it looks to become profitable. Meati, which had let go of 17 employees (about 5%) in June, says the layoffs affect all parts of the business and plans to add 100 additional positions to boost production. Despite the layoffs and closing of its pilot plant in Boulder, Colorado, Meati remains confident about its growth trajectory. “Very few brands have ever entered the market in this way, with immediate category leadership and extreme consumer resonance,” the company’s spokesperson told Green Queen. The layoffs at Meati follow similar developments at other plant-based food companies in the last year, with the alt-meat industry experiencing a decline in sales and consumer interest. Alt-meat giant Impossible Foods cut 20% of its workforce (132 employees) in February, after laying off 6% a few months before, while competitor Beyond Meat similarly let 19% of its staff go last October, affecting 200 employees and Eat Just, Inc. made 18% of its workers redundant earlier this year. Despite some companies ceasing operations, filing for bankruptcy, falling into administration, going into receivership – or even coming close to the brink, a 2023 Kantar report suggests that while plant-based food brands have seen a 10% drop in sales, private-label supermarket offerings have grown by 14% in the last year. Along these lines, Meati COO Scott Tassani told the Denver Post: “We are very confident that we will exit the year with thousands of stores carrying our product and we’ll be on the path to profitability in 2024.” #GreenQueen #altprotein #futurefood #foodtech #sustainability

Discussing today's IT challenges over bratwurst and beer: That's what's happening at the "DataGrillen" under the motto "Data, Bratwurst & Beer".  🌭 🍺     The two-day event took place last week at the IT Center in Lingen. 200 participants took up the invitation to share ideas and listen to inspiring talks and discussions. Also on the agenda was a presentation by Thomas Kronawitter, Head of Data-Driven Applications & Services at #GRENKE, who explored the perceived talent shortage in data and analytics and presented compelling solutions to address it.    "The list of requirements in a job advertisement is often so extensive that obviously no one can fulfil it. Given the shortage of skilled labour, we need to take a different approach to recruitment in the future. We also need to address target groups on an individual basis that might not be considered suitable at first glance. In my experience, lateral hires can be a great asset to a team. A high level of motivation can often compensate for perceived professional deficits. That's why at GRENKE we say: Your qualification counts. But what really matters is your mindset,” he concluded.      #letsgrowtogether #hr #it #datagrillen
