President Implecho Pewaukee Industry: Audio communication solutions Implecho.com Employees: 9 “A few years ago, (Pewaukee-based) OwnersEdge, which is the 100% employee-owned ESOP holding company that Implecho is part of, introduced a ‘people-first’ philosophy and conducted a learning series on how to become a people-first organization and a people-first leader. “I’ll never forget the quote that was part of the training because it was an ‘aha’ moment for me: ‘If we consistently exceed the expectations of employees, they will consistently exceed the expectations of our customers.’ – Shep Hyken, customer experience expert “Previously, in my sales and marketing positions, I always heard customers first. The people-first approach expands my view on how a healthy culture affects this philosophy, and I have seen the results at Implecho. Our team’s dynamic shines through in the customer experience, and it is evident in our customer feedback and outstanding Net Promoter Score of 90+. “The other important ingredient to our success is the fact that Implecho is a 100% employee-owned ESOP company. Employees understand that their performance directly impacts their own bottom line because they literally have stock in the company.” Age: 42 Professional experience: Bridget Pedersen has been with Implecho and its predecessor company for more than 12 years.
