Longevity at Smart City

The Smart City way is built from a set of ten business principles and twenty daily basics, but one principle holds them all together, and without it, none of the others would be possible.

Business Principle # 3 – It’s the People We have great people who want to do well, who are capable of doing great things and who come to work fired up to achieve them. Great people flourish in an environment that liberates and amplifies their energy.

It takes great people to have “Integrity without Compromise,” to “Do Right by All Our Customers,” and “Continually Improve Processes.” Great people know to “Speak, Listen and Respond,” that “Teams Work” and everyone is better off when “We Care and Give Back.” Throughout the years, Smart City has employed great people who live our business principles and daily basics every day; maintaining an environment that allows them to flourish within what we hope is a rewarding career with Smart City. Their longevity attracts more great people enabling the cycle to continue.

As described in this issues cover story, Keith McNeely (Senior Director, Technology Services) became the second Smart City employee to celebrate 40 years with the company, with Bob Sutton (Director of Systems Development) celebrating his 43rd-anniversary last year. Smart City’s Business Principles were practically written about Keith and Bob. They both embody our principles and lead by example for others to do the same.

In addition to Bob and Keith, we currently have 12 team members that have been with Smart City for over twenty years, and another 26 working here for over fifteen. Their experience and commitment hold all of our business principles and daily basics together enabling Smart City to be the place Where Technology Meets Hospitality.
