00:00:06.297 --> 00:00:09.300
Bio-Rad is a very unique company.

2
00:00:09.300 --> 00:00:13.388
The family culture that we have,
all of the innovation that's going on,

3
00:00:13.388 --> 00:00:15.557
plus the people make it a great place
to work.

4
00:00:15.557 --> 00:00:17.142
The opportunities are endless.

5
00:00:17.142 --> 00:00:21.521
If you're looking for opportunity,
there is opportunity everywhere.

6
00:00:21.521 --> 00:00:25.275
You can grow your career in any direction
that you're looking to grow it.

7
00:00:28.862 --> 00:00:35.452
One thing I emphasize with my team is to think about
where else they might want to spend some time.

8
00:00:35.452 --> 00:00:38.288
Try to make sure that they're
fulfilling their career growth

9
00:00:38.288 --> 00:00:41.332
at the same time
as doing the job that we're required to do

10
00:00:41.332 --> 00:00:42.292
every day.

11
00:00:49.424 --> 00:00:52.260
Working from home is great.

12
00:00:52.260 --> 00:00:54.971
It's something I always wanted to do.

13
00:00:54.971 --> 00:00:58.475
Once we were told on March 2020

14
00:00:58.475 --> 00:01:02.937
that we would be working from home,
it was a shock for sure.

15
00:01:04.689 --> 00:01:07.484
It's been amazing for my family

16
00:01:07.484 --> 00:01:12.822
to just be able to take that five minute
drive to pick up my son from school.

17
00:01:12.822 --> 00:01:15.575
So that he doesn't have to sit
at the after school

18
00:01:15.575 --> 00:01:18.745
care program for 4 hours
until I get home from work,

19
00:01:18.745 --> 00:01:22.749
has had a huge impact on him.
Having these little windows

20
00:01:22.749 --> 00:01:27.087
where I can help my family during the day
and still I'm not missing

21
00:01:27.087 --> 00:01:31.091
any work has been a huge impact
for my family.

22
00:01:31.091 --> 00:01:34.135
And my dogs like it too,
they like to have me home.

23
00:01:37.597 --> 00:01:42.977
So I've been here now for 14 years
and when I first started at Bio-Rad,

24
00:01:42.977 --> 00:01:46.397
what drew me in was being close to home.

25
00:01:46.397 --> 00:01:47.774
I'm 15 minutes away.

26
00:01:47.774 --> 00:01:48.817
It's very convenient

27
00:01:48.817 --> 00:01:53.279
for my life outside of work, and
I don't think that's my reason anymore.

28
00:01:53.279 --> 00:01:56.491
But I think what keeps me at Bio-Rad
is, is Bio-Rad.

29
00:01:56.491 --> 00:01:57.700
It's the company.

30
00:01:57.700 --> 00:02:01.996
It's the culture that we have,
the people that I work with,

31
00:02:01.996 --> 00:02:04.666
the products that we create and we sell.

32
00:02:04.666 --> 00:02:09.254
That has taken a much higher priority
in my life at this point,

33
00:02:09.254 --> 00:02:12.257
where I have pride
in the company that I work for.

34
00:02:12.257 --> 00:02:15.552
And it's no longer about,
you know, just what's convenient for me.

35
00:02:15.552 --> 00:02:19.222
It's having pride in the company
that I contribute to on a daily basis.
