Work is essential at any company, especially if you want your company and your employees to succeed. However, at Industrial Packaging, there is more going on than just work. We feel that it is essential that our employees have fun at work. Having fun at work can reduce stress and help our employees be more productive, creative, and engaged. To capture what fun means to our people in the best way, I connected with a few of our teammates to hear about their most recent fun moments. Here are a few ways and fun stories showcasing how some of our employees have fun together during work hours (while still living our purpose and being safe, of course!)

Knowing what your company's purpose is or why it has formed its business says a lot about a company. Industrial Packaging's Company Purpose is: "Protecting People, Products, and Brands, throughout the Supply Chain." Every employee is taught what our company purpose is on their first day at work, and every employee lives up to this purpose every day. I recently connected with some of our employees and asked them what our company purpose means to them. Here is what I learned.

When it comes to the hiring process, the team at Industrial Packaging pays close attention to the questions we are asked by potential new employees. Besides asking about pay, there are some other important questions we are asked that give candidates a sense of what our company is all about.
