A message from the President
Why do we call ourselves ElementOne? Because the first element on the periodic table, hydrogen, is the most important element – it’s the building block of the universe. Since people are the building blocks of your organization and foundational to your success, our name is only fitting.
Our focus is on the people in your organization. Their performance and morale are fundamental to achieving everything you’re aiming for.
We believe that margin and mission go hand-in-hand. That the most effective leaders take care of their people, achieve pay equity, and have a plan to maximize their teams’ capacity.
If you are a leader aiming to do right by your people and maximize performance, we can’t wait to hear from you.
Sincerely,
Edmund B. Ura
