In reality, it’s not,” she states. “There
are subtleties, even if they both speak
the same language, operate and retain
data. Our communications groups were
fantastic in helping us avoid addressing
employees or teams in a way that would
not resonate with them. When you think

reach and influence your employees, it
gives you massive return on investment.”
LONG-TERM OPPORTUNITIES
With such a global footprint, Finning
remains committed to contributing to
a number of charitable causes, but one
key focus has been behind the delivery
of science, technology, engineering
and mathematics (STEM) education.
Across each of its operating regions,
the business has sought to inspire the
innovators of tomorrow by supporting
the growth in STEM-based roles.
Partnering with leading STEM outreach
organization, Actua in Canada, Finning
provides financial support, volunteering
and hands-on opportunities to those
interested in areas such as programming
and coding.
