At Tulmar Safety Systems , our commitment to being #EngineeredforProtection drives everything we do. Data plays a crucial role in our operations; it shapes the design of our products, refines our processes, and fuels our growth. But while data informs our strategies, it’s the energy and enthusiasm of our people that truly defines our workplace culture.
This Halloween, we witnessed that energy firsthand with an impressive display of costumes and the addition of a pumpkin carving event, both showcasing the creativity and team spirit of Tulmar employees. A recent photo captured some of the best costumes, highlighting just how committed our team is—not only to their work but also to building a vibrant, inclusive culture. It’s a reminder that while data gives us metrics and insights, it’s the human element that brings our workplace to life.
For the past two years, we’ve been gathering data on employee engagement to understand and improve the workplace experience at Tulmar. These surveys are part of our commitment to fostering a positive, collaborative environment. By tracking engagement levels, we’ve gained valuable insights into how our culture is evolving, revealing a healthy relationship between Tulmar and its team—a relationship that, according to our data, is growing stronger each year.
The results have guided several initiatives focused on enhancing our work environment, strengthening communication, and providing opportunities for professional growth. This feedback loop is essential, allowing us to make informed decisions that reflect the needs and aspirations of our people.
However, as much as these surveys reveal, they only capture part of the story. The numbers can show progress, but they can’t fully capture the “vibe” that defines our workplace—a vibe that’s built on shared moments, genuine connections, and the spontaneous fun that brings us together.
This Halloween celebration is a perfect example of that intangible vibe. Each year, more employees join in on the fun, donning creative costumes and competing for various prizes. The growing participation speaks volumes about the camaraderie we’ve built and the comfort employees feel in expressing themselves at work. And this year, with the addition of the pumpkin carving event, we saw even more engagement as colleagues joined forces to carve out some festive masterpieces.
These activities add a personal, colorful dimension to our work life that can’t be measured in data points but is deeply felt. They’re a reminder that, while data can tell us how we’re doing, it’s our people who show us who we are.
At Tulmar, we believe that a strong culture can be measured, observed, and felt. The data we collect is invaluable for tracking progress and making meaningful improvements, but it’s the daily interactions, the shared experiences, and the moments of celebration that truly bring our culture to life. Observing our team during events like Halloween gives us a unique glimpse into the spirit that fuels Tulmar’s success.
As we look ahead, we’ll continue using data to refine and strengthen our workplace. But we’ll also keep celebrating the moments that let our team’s personality shine through—because at Tulmar, it’s not just about protection; it’s about creating a workplace where people feel connected, valued, and inspired.
Here’s to a culture that’s not only data-driven but also vibrant, dynamic, and full of life. We’re excited to keep building on this foundation, balancing the numbers with the colors that make Tulmar truly unique.
