Gulf Coast Events' Spirited Company Culture

The company motto at Gulf Coast Events is work hard, play hard. During the last few quarters, the team has realized significant growth. The managers credit a positive, supportive company culture for this forward movement.

“Since this firm opened, the focus has been on creating a nurturing culture,” said Alex, Gulf Coast Events’ president. “People are our most valuable resources. Without them, our operations would be ineffective.”

Alex shared how Gulf Coast Events managers strive to develop their successful team. “We value our people,” she said. “Our associates recognize that their input and feedback is vital to our operations. They’re not shy about speaking up and advising us of issues that could be impacting our progress. They share their ideas on how to improve processes. This is what allows us to continue to flourish.”

"We are a transparent company, which means our people know what is expected of them,"

“We invest in our human resources,” Alex noted. “From the time they’re hired, our associates participate in continual professional development. They acquire new techniques. We exchange ideas and openly collaborate on campaigns.”

As part of the firm’s progressive advancement policy, Alex noted that team members recognize that hard work and efforts can have tangible rewards. “At all times, our associates know their commitment to helping brands attain goals is noted,” she said. “They acknowledge that as they reach milestones, they prepare themselves for more opportunities.”

“We are a transparent company, which means our people know what is expected of them,” Alex added. “They know how their efforts influence the bottom line. We empower them to make critical decisions because they are fully informed of our mission. It is for all these reasons we’re able to say our company culture reflects a positive, spirited workplace environment in which everyone can thrive.”

Gulf Coast Events Team Plays Together 

While hard work comprises a significant chunk of the Gulf Coast Events team’s days, Alex emphasized that the managers incorporate fun into their routine. “We don’t just work hard, we play hard, too,” she said. “We are an exceptionally social group, always welcoming new associates.”

One of the team’s recent gatherings was an exciting evening at a Houston Astros game. “We had so much fun there, because everyone went,” she exclaimed. While sports nights are considered special occasions, Alex listed several other frequent activities in which the team partakes. “We have a lot of weekly dinners and some game nights,” she added. “We had a great turnout for our Labor Day cookout. It’s always exhilarating when we can hang out together.”

For a friendly yet competitive experience, the team is establishing a Fantasy Football league. “It’s nice because we’ll be competing against each other in a good-natured way,” she noted. “We’ll be checking up on our teams often, to see who’s doing well.”

“It is really awesome to see our team members bond and come together,” Alex concluded. “We have developed a crew that works hard but also knows how to have fun, and we all get along great! We’re looking forward to many more exciting events.”
