At Verus Metrology Partners, our purpose-led approach and commitment to innovation set us apart in the industry. Our team members thrive in an environment that values autonomy, creativity, and personal growth. Today, we’re sharing insights from two of our team members: Anke Rooney, a Client Accout Lead and a Michaela Healy,  Metrology Applications Engineer.

Anke plays a crucial role in managing client relationships and ensuring that our solutions align with client needs. She brings a strategic mindset to their work, often thinking outside the box to deliver creative solutions that meet unique customer requirements.

On the other hand, Michaela is one of the team members responsible for developing and implementing metrology solutions that optimize precision and efficiency in measurement processes. This role involves working closely with clients and internal teams to innovate and adapt processes to meet the evolving needs of our customers.

The Benefits of Peer- and Purpose-Led Organizations

Being a peer- and purpose-led organization like Verus Metrology Partners comes with several benefits. In such environments, the absence of rigid hierarchies allows for greater autonomy and decision-making at all levels. This fosters a culture of trust, empowerment, and accountability, where team members feel valued and motivated to contribute their best ideas. Purpose-led companies also encourage innovation by aligning the organization’s goals with individual passions, creating a workplace where employees are driven not just by tasks, but by a shared mission and values.

At Verus Metrology Partners, our purpose is deeply client-focused, particularly in the medical device and pharmaceutical industries, where the impact of our work extends far beyond the confines of our organization. By prioritizing the delivery of positive patient outcomes, we align closely with the mission of our clients who are dedicated to advancing healthcare solutions. This alignment not only strengthens our partnerships but also contributes to wider social, economic, and health benefits. By ensuring precision and reliability in our metrology services, we support our clients in developing safer, more effective medical devices and pharmaceuticals, ultimately enhancing patient care and improving public health outcomes on a global scale.Purpose and Culture

What does being a purpose-led company mean to you personally?

For Anke, being part of a purpose-led company means having the freedom to operate independently and creatively. She appreciates the ability to “work at a pace that delivers services to our clients in a way that meets their expectations and deliverables, using my own tactics to get to the desired result.” This autonomy allows her to implement innovative ideas that aren’t constrained by conventional methods, fostering a dynamic and fulfilling work experience.

Similarly, our Metrology Applications Engineer, Michaela, values the independence and responsibility that comes with working in a purpose-driven environment. For her, this means having the freedom to approach challenges in a way that is the most engaging and effective for delivering our services and meeting client requirements.

How does the absence of traditional hierarchies impact your work experience?

The absence of traditional hierarchies at Verus Metrology Partners is a refreshing change for our team members. Anke enjoys the trust and freedom the company places in its staff, appreciating a workplace without a blame culture. This setup helps them feel more comfortable and productive, as it aligns with their preference for a non-authoritarian environment.

Michaela also sees the lack of a rigid hierarchy as a positive aspect, stating that it “increases independence and personal responsibility.” This flexibility allows her to take initiative and contribute more meaningfully to the company’s goals while centering the client requirements efficiently and effectively.

Roles and Contributions

Can you describe a project you’ve worked on that you’re particularly proud of? How did it align with our company’s purpose?

Michaela recounted a recent project involving the delivery of fixtures and applications across multiple continents. This large-scale project helped standardize inspection processes globally, allowing them to connect with team members worldwide and enhance overall efficiency. Anke’s approach to daily work and decision-making also aligns with Verus’s commitment to creativity and purposeful innovation.

Innovation and Collaboration

How does the collaborative environment at Verus Metrology Partners foster innovation?

Both team members agree that collaboration is key to fostering innovation at Verus. Anke emphasized the importance of alternative thinking and the implementation of diverse thought processes, which drive creativity and lead to innovative solutions. Michaela added that projects are approached from a wide perspective, with input from a varied group. This results in optimal and versatile ideas and creates a highly adaptive environment conducive to innovation.

How do you stay motivated and inspired in a purpose-driven workplace?

Anke believes that thriving in a purpose-driven workplace requires certain personality traits, such as natural drive, proactiveness, and a willingness to take to make decisions based on our purpose-led values. They noted, “PLC does not work for everyone, as some people do not thrive in this environment.” Meanwhile, Michalea stays motivated by focusing on delivering products and services that continually improve. They are inspired by the ability to change and adapt processes, which keeps their curiosity and interest alive.

Professional Development and Future Vision

What opportunities for professional growth and development have you experienced here?

Verus Metrology Partners offers numerous opportunities for professional growth, largely driven by the initiative of the employees themselves. Anke mentioned that “the sky is the limit” for those who want to further their education or development, with robust support systems available for proactive individuals. Michaela echoed this sentiment, highlighting the extensive list of courses available to enhance their skills and the chance to work with new customers, which requires adapting and expanding their expertise. This supports our purpose to deliver ever more innovative solutions to clients while ensuring we meet the expectations of staff in their own professional development.

Conclusion

At Verus Metrology Partners, our purpose-led approach, flat organizational structure, and emphasis on innovation create a dynamic and fulfilling workplace. By empowering our team members with autonomy and fostering a collaborative environment, we continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the metrology industry.
