How do you build strong culture in a global company—and make it feel local?
In this episode, Ellen and Jenny sit down with Lee Ulinskas, Employee Engagement & Development Manager at ebm-papst, to explore what it really means to create meaningful workplace culture across locations, languages, and time zones.
Lee shares how her role is to nurture culture, collaboration, and continuous learning—while also navigating regional differences between locations in Connecticut, Tennessee, and Germany. Her career path has given her a unique perspective and now she's now a driving force behind culture-building initiatives that make a real difference.
This episode is packed with powerful takeaways:
- How to adapt global values to local teams
- Ways to foster trust and feedback across cultures
- The importance of perspective-taking in collaboration
- A simple but powerful mindset: treat coworkers like customers
Lee’s intentional, thoughtful approach to culture shows that it’s not just about posters on the wall—it’s about behaviors, values, and systems that reflect who you are as a company, every single day.
