We have embraced working from home / alternative work arrangement lifestyles as much as our contracts and work will allow. To ensure all staff have a place to come together, interact, and interface with each other despite the fact that we are all spread across the globe on the daily, we created weekly virtual Lunch & Learn meet-ups to connect everyone in the company. We also implemented a Project Manager training program where the CEO, COO, and VPs monthly work with the Project Manager's on expanding their knowledge and skills. IEI advocates on promoting from within whenever possible, all of our Executive Leadership Team started as Field Technicians or Project Managers with the company.
