Meet Santos Mendez, Plant Manager at our Turners Falls, MA site. For Santos, ownership at Charter Next Generation is about commitment. Being committed to showing up every day by leading, listening, and reinforcing a culture where ideas matter. "People feel heard," he says. "There's a 360 feedback loop when you're putting in ideas. A little idea can take us a long way." That commitment drives how CNG employee-owners are Enhancing Lives for a Better World. See how you can Own Your Moment: https://cnginc.com/careers/why-cng/
All month long, we are celebrating International Women’s Day at Charter Next Generation. This year's IWD theme, “Give To Gain,” encourages a mindset of generosity and collaboration while demonstrating the power of reciprocity and support. When we give, we gain. At CNG, we asked some of our women what #GiveToGain means to them. Their reflections highlight the impact of mentorship, sharing knowledge, opening doors, and supporting one another. Through initiatives like our #UNITEDWomen Employee Resource Group (ERG) and the everyday actions of our employee-owners, we continue building a workplace where women have the opportunity to learn, lead, and grow.
