Gentry Services

A little appreciation can go a long way! Jaimie Gentry, our Chief People Officer (CPO) not only understand this, but exemplifies it by regularly letting our team know that their time and efforts are genuinely appreciated! When you create a culture where people feel valued, they will value you. We all thank you for the work that you do, Jaimie! #culture #appreciation

We are both thrilled and sad to share what will be the final talk of the season for the IEEE women in engineering series! Leslie Martinich will be discussing how engaged leader that empower their teams will create the future workforce and organizational culture that we need. We're looking forward to it! #IEEE #womeninengineering

Last week Little Rock held an incredibly successful Cybersecurity Summit hosted by Attorney General Tim Griffin and Forge Institute. Thank you to James Gentry III and Ben Sady for contributing your insights to the panel on Operationalizing Resiliency.

"80 percent of what a company “knows” resides in its employees’ minds, while only 20 percent resides in repositories such as file shares, documents and wikis." - According to knowledge management experts at Boeing This is why it's so important to encourage our teams to communicate directly, mentor each other, and share knowledge openly and often! Companies that can institute such a culture will save themselves and their employees from having to relearn the same lessons the hard way, over and over again. #knowledgerecovery #engineering

Hap-hap-HAPPY 1 year anniversary to our very own Brandon Beam, COO! We're so thankful to have great talent on our team and Brandon is certainly no exception. He's already had a major impact on the trajectory of our organization and we're excited to build on the momentum to keep growing and serving our clients, employees, and partners! Thanks for being with us, Brandon! #anniversary #thankful

We believe that when you have core values, you can't just post them on your website and pay them lip service during company all-hands meetings. You need to live them. For example, if your people truly are your most valuable asset, then: 1. They will be paid what they're worth and given the support that they need to succeed. 2. Budget cuts won't target employee training, pay, and benefits first. 3. HR policies will have the flexibility to tailor to each person. One size does not fit all. We stick by our values because that's what makes us, us! this includes making sure our employees know that they are HIGHLY appreciated and respected. What are your values? #corevalues #experience

Another advantage of space technology and operations is that we can observe major weather events... Like Tropical Storm Helene, as shown in this image (full video link in the comments!) taken from the international space station. Turns out we can learn a lot from very far away that we can't learn from up close. And it's also much safer at this distance 😉 Space tech is awesome. #aerospace #engineering #science

Institutional knowledge is as powerful, though often overlooked or, at best, an afterthought of organizations throughout the world. Here are a few BIG reasons why you should integrate knowledge retention and recovery strategies into your core business practices>>> 1. Operational Efficiency: Organizations that effectively retain institutional knowledge can reduce learning curves for their employees, enhancing productivity by up to 20% faster than those without structured knowledge transfer programs. 2. Competitive Edge: Companies with strong knowledge management systems are 3 times more likely to be in the top performers of their industry, as they can innovate more rapidly by building upon existing knowledge rather than starting fresh as knowledge deprecates. 3. Cost Savings: The cost of losing critical knowledge can be significant, with some estimates suggesting that replacing a skilled employee can cost between 50% to 200% of their annual salary due to onboarding and lost productivity. This is our passion. #expertise #institutionalknowledge #engineering
