What Has Been Your Experience Working In Different Locations?

The experience has provided insight into the many differences and challenges that exist between regions and areas. For example, our business is not monolithic or singular, by any means, however, there are some core similarities that drive the regional businesses. 

• Cultural differences are extremely relevant as an international Company. Accepting and appreciating those differences is key. Having exposure to different cultures and an open mind to the differences is extremely important. We are much more alike than we are different.
• Expro has so much opportunity to continue capturing market and growth. Sharing our local successes across the regions can provide solutions to similar problems in other regions. 
• People are the most important part of what makes Expro! We have great people! The ability to meet, collaborate with and share information fosters an environment to develop meaningful relationships. Through these relationships, there is so much potential to leave a positive impact on someone's life and career. We should all strive to be a positive force in each interaction we have.
