In July, the Philadelphia Business Journal posted their 2023 Best Places to Work as voted by employees.
For the 10th year in a row, Miles IT topped the list of honorees, and for good reason. In the decades since we first opened our doors, our culture has expanded to reach a wider breadth of potential employees.
This year our company goal has been “Always Moving Forward.” This means our employees are encouraged to expand not only their knowledge and skills but to use that motivation to expand our company as well.
After all, Miles IT is nothing without the creative individuals who keep our company going daily, from project to project.
Creating a Company Without Borders
Since 2020, Miles IT has been working hard to continuously expand our reach beyond the confines of physicality. By becoming a remote company, we have been able to serve clients and hire employees worldwide. No longer are we limited in scope by physical boundaries.
The world is our oyster thanks to expanding technology.
For a technology company specializing in IT and Software services, Consulting, and Marketing, including remote capabilities in how we do business has simply pushed us to be the best company we can be.
We see new technology trends as new opportunities for growth and expansion. This also puts us in a prime position to hire the right people – people who fully embody our culture, attitude, and beliefs.
So, what exactly does that mean?
The Miles IT Beliefs
The most important thing to know about Miles IT is that we pride ourselves on the core values we instill in our employees. These beliefs are a part of everything we do here.
We include them in “Belief of the Week” posts on our companywide message board, Buzz. These weekly beliefs are mentioned at the start of every group meeting, and employees are given a chance to discuss how the belief helped them recently should they desire.
Our 12 Beliefs are as follows:
- Family Comes First
- You Request. We Respond. It Gets Done!
- Interruptions are Opportunities Knocking
- Working Hard and Smart
- Our Services are A Strategic Competitive Advantage for Our Customers
- Passionately Advocating for What is Best
- Caring
- We Start with YES.
- Taking Responsibility
- Successful Communications = Successful Outcomes for All
- Career Development
These beliefs make us who we are and encourage all the other parts of what makes our company great.
We Care About Your Future
First and foremost, Miles IT is a company that cares. We care about our employees and our clients as if they are a member of our family – because they are. This compassion for our teams helps us maintain a level of creativity, innovation, and passion beyond other companies in our field.
Miles IT instills this passion in each of our employees from Day 1. Through individualized career planning and consistent one-on-one meetings with managers, each of our employees can feel like their path will be met and nurtured by everyone around them.
There is an air of openness and communication that carries from one department to the next and encourages our employees to work together to achieve customer success. This includes interdepartmental collaboration and clear communication between individuals while working on projects.
We always say there isn’t room for egos within Miles IT, and we mean it. Everyone from the ground up is vital to a part of the overall success of our company. No one person is more important to that journey than another.
By having an environment of open communication, we foster the belief that no one is alone. We are always here to extend a helping hand to any of our colleagues whenever the need arises.
This is why we offer Paid Time Off, Flex Time, and Tuition Reimbursement. We know that we are all human and want to keep our passions growing, so Miles IT goes out of its way to support that.
Staying Connected in a Wider World
The culture of Miles IT is also that of inclusivity. We have always believed that each person is unique and special; therefore, their needs will be unique and special.
We work hard to ensure all our employees feel part of something, even if we don’t meet in person often anymore. Our teams all have their forms of fun, relationship-building activities on the regular – such as virtual game lunch hours, team-building exercises, etc.
The company works hard to build bonds between employees by having monthly Coffee with Coworkers meetings where we all meet online, drink our respective morning drinks, and do a few icebreaker activities for about fifteen minutes before getting on with our days.
As the world around us evolves and changes, Miles IT’s strive to accomplish this has only increased. Our company has people from all walks of life, and we treasure each individual’s experiences and culture as part of the puzzle that makes us whole.
Our desire to be inclusive and connected has encouraged us to create a Culture Club that works hard to recognize all major holidays and celebrations worldwide and honor the different types of awarenesses out there, whether they be health or human-related.
Our Culture Club is the organizer behind many virtual and in-person get-togethers, such as our yearly Chili Cook-Off, Halloween Costume Contest, Ugly Sweater Contest, Beer Swap, and more.
In-Person Benefits
If you are one of the lucky few who live within the Lumberton, NJ area and can go to the brick-and-mortar office building, you are in for a treat there.
Our goal as a company is to ensure everyone feels respected, appreciated, and loved for what they bring to the table creatively and professionally. We are a bunch of dreamers and innovators – our office building reflects that.
Our employees who are in the office are given the opportunity to build their desks their way using large colorful linking blocks. This way, their workspace is uniquely their own and a place to encourage their minds to go beyond the simple and mundane to create the extraordinary.
Miles IT also encourages a laid-back work environment that provides equal opportunity for play and work. We offer exercise and sports perks so that our employees never feel overworked.
There are also meal options so coworkers can sit down and enjoy a conversation over a nice balanced lunch provided entirely by Miles IT.
Of course, all of these amenities mean nothing if our workers don’t initially feel motivated to give their best to Miles IT, and that starts from the top.
The Miles IT Can-Do Attitude
One of the most extraordinary things about Miles IT is that this company was created with a vision to help others build on their technology-related needs and dreams. So, one of the ways we do this is through our belief “We Start with YES.”
Everyone at Miles IT is an individual who sees the possibility in every opportunity presented. We never tell our customers we can’t do what they dream of without exploring all our options.
To start with yes means we present ourselves as highly passionate people who believe every challenge is an open door to learn something new or try a solution we haven’t thought of before.
Everything is possible when we start with YES.
