GAM Can! That is our passion. The spirit of our entrepreneurial culture. We live and breathe our core values of Teamwork, being Action-oriented, building Long-term relationships, being Professional at what we do, and having Fun.Teamwork: We will be respectful and helpful to one another and be held accountable for our actions and our work. Great teams perform well when everyone is working together for the common good and genuine desire to help!Action Oriented: We are doers not talkers, meaning, “We walk the talk.” We take responsibility of a problem or opportunity to the end and not hand it off to another person until it is resolved. There is strong sense of urgency because solving problems quickly and accurately will prevail in the customer’s mind.Long-term Relationships: We are not interested in relationships that are short-lived. Relationships are the core to our business and trust is the foundation of our relationships. We will be true to our customers, our vendors and our employees. We strive for great friendship in these relationships because in the end we are here to enjoy one another and serve.Professionalism: We are not just talking about our appearance when we are defining professionalism. It‘s about being knowledgeable, learning to better oneself, truly listening to others when they are talking, doing it right the first time (quality not quantity)and taking pride in the work you do.Fun: We strive for a fun atmosphere at GAM. We know that with every business, there is pressure but we need to balance that pressure, with fun. We encourage activities that build friendships to know the whole person not just the work person.The GAMMY is a peer-awarded, traveling trophy. Each month, the current holder of the trophy selects the next winner. It is awarded for best practicing the GAM values – it can recognize how a person applies the GAM values in a particular project or interaction, or for how they embody the GAM values in their work life as a whole. It is thoughtfully presented and enthusiastically celebrated!The GAMMY got its start when one of our teammates, Matt Ballinger, was scrounging around our lab and grabbed some obsolete and damaged parts. He cobbled those parts together to create a desk ornament for his workspace.He continued to add to the montage till one day another teammate exclaimed, “Hey that thing looks like some sort of manufacturing trophy suitable for the Island of Misfit Toys!” The Grammys happened to air the night before, and another teammate said, “That trophy is not a Grammy, it’s a GAMMY!”So that is how that mis-shaped, sad looking, ensemble of parts, that only a GAM Teammate could love, came to existence. Today it is one of the most cherished prizes a GAM Teammate can receive, because it is an award which is recognition from another teammate, unsolicited, and without management involvement.Connor is recognized for his positive attitude, dedication, and willingness to jump in wherever he’s needed, whether that’s on the floor or anywhere else the team needs support. His action-oriented approach and commitment to teamwork make him an invaluable part of the GAM family!Brian is recognized for his hard work and dedication. He has done a great job running 2 machines daily and is always willing to help others when they need it. This is teamwork, not just doing your job but also helping others when they need it!
