G uardian Asset Management (Guard- ian) prides itself not only on the quality of its services but, just as impor- tantly, on the caliber of its people, who are the lifeblood of our organization and are directly responsible for the recogni- tion and reputation that Guardian has garnered in the industry. We value in our people and imbue across our organization the qualities of trust, respect, empathy, inclusivity, constructive discussion, unfet- tered diversity of thought, creativity, and collaboration. How do you nurture and recruit new talent? G uardian takes thoughtful and delib- erate steps to recruit talent that pos- sesses the requisite technical expertise and embraces a willingness to learn the skills needed to flourish. We implement detailed procedures to vet candidates professional- ly and spend ample time evaluating them individually for their fit with our stated organizational values. We hire only those who exhibit both the desired technical capabilities and personal qualities. Guardian also recognizes and embrac- es the reality that every person is a work in progress and has room for growth. We view each person as an investment that merits support to succeed as a colleague and professional. Nurturing our talent with monthly and quarterly training seminars across topics germane to their jobs, participation in industry confer- ences, and on-the-field training provides the essential strategic, operational, and hands-on framework to excel both in the boardroom and on the job. All employees are notified of any Guardian job openings and are actively encouraged to submit their applications for any positions that they believe presents an enticing pro- fessional challenge and opportunity for advancement. How do you utilize tech to remain at the forefront of your industry? G uardian utilizes a sophisticated tech- nology stack to manage its operations and interactions with personnel, vendors, and clients. Guardian ensures that internal and external workflows, information transfer, communications, and work qual- ity are optimized by leveraging techno- logical solutions that provide best-in-class data visualization and analysis software, quality assurance tools, automated report- ing and forecasting features, work order management, material and labor cost pricing analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. That positions our organization to stay prescient, nimble, and responsive to industry developments. How do you nurture a commitment to diversity and inclusion within the company? W e believe in leading by example and, as our fellow Pennsylvanian Benjamin Franklin said, that "well done is better than well said." Diversity and inclusion are permeated throughout our organization.
