What Does Company Culture Mean to YOU?
As we join Ryerson, Olympic Steel, and our Family of Companies, we’re building a culture that reflects the best of who we are together. And, we want you to help name this group and this initiative!
Company culture. It’s what makes us who we are. It’s the shared mindset that shapes how we work. It’s what we believe and how we act. It’s how we treat each other, serve our customers, and win together.
As we join Ryerson, Olympic Steel, and our Family of Companies, we're building a culture that reflects the best of who we are together. To support that effort, we're launching a new employee-led culture initiative made up of team members from across the organization. The group will build upon the work started by the Ryerson Employee Engagement Council and the ONE OLYMPIC Team to help strengthen connections, encourage collaboration, celebrate our diverse experiences, and create programs that make our company a great place to work. Through events, recognition, networking, learning opportunities, community-building activities, and employee feedback, they'll help foster a stronger, more connected culture as we continue our journey toward becoming one company.
So, what do we call this group? What do we call this initiative?
Well, that’s where you come in! Share your creative ideas to help us name this team and the work they will lead for our combined company.
Besides the opportunity to help shape the identity of our culture-focused team and their work, the winner will receive a $100 Amazon gift card.
The “Fine Print”
When generating ideas, consider the entire Family of Companies and the work of this group. Our combined stock symbol and internal “RYZ” may be used as part of the name submission – in fact, we encourage it!
All entries must come from employees of Ryerson, Olympic Steel, or the combined Family of Companies and include the name and location of the team member with each submission. Employees may submit up to three ideas. More than one winner may be named if multiple ideas are combined. If more than one individual submits the same winning idea, the person who submitted the idea first (according to the SurveyMonkey submission timestamp) will be the winner. The additional duplicate submissions of the winning idea will be entered into a drawing for one additional $100 Amazon card. The deadline to submit ideas is Friday, October 9.
The winner(s) will be announced during the December 3 Town Hall / Webcast.
Looking Ahead
This effort isn't about changing who we are. It's about identifying the best of our legacy cultures and building upon those strengths together. Culture isn't created by leadership alone. It's created by all of us - through the relationships we build, the way we work together, and the experiences we create every day.
We look forward to sharing more in the coming months and, most importantly, giving our teams opportunities to help shape what comes next – ONE COMPANY. Built by all of us.
