April 2023 - Abatement Technologies®

Meet Jaimie Basinski - Warehouse Coordinator

What makes the team unique at Abatement Technologies is that each employee comes from different walks of life with different industry experiences. But, we all work together on a common theme - Being the leaders in clean air. Dedicated to this mission, Abatement Technologies employees often wear many hats and are cross-trained in multiple aspects of the business. This is the case with Aire Guardian, Jaimie Basinski.

A company of opportunities

Jaimie has been an Aire Guardian for almost two years and has worn many hats since her initial hire. From handling shipping and receiving operations at Abatement’s secondary location to managing inventory for the company, Jaimie spends a lot of time interacting with customs for cross-border shipments.

“I love the variety of my job and the challenge that comes with learning new things. I’ve had the opportunity to move into different fields since I was hired, and it’s interesting having the ability to learn what everyone does at the company and the role each position plays.”

A passion for helping others

“What makes me so passionate about working for Abatement Technologies is really about helping people. I love learning about where our products are going and how they are improving lives. For instance, during the pandemic, we sent a lot of products to hospitals. The ability to help families and bring them together makes what you do exciting.”

Everyone feels like family

Jaimie was attracted to working at Abatement Technologies not only because of their dedication to protecting others, but also because of their family-focused environment.

“You don’t see a lot of workplaces where everyone feels like home when you walk in the doors. Usually, people are just there for a job and don’t really care about who they work with. But at Abatement Technologies, you care about who you work with, and you enjoy seeing everyone every day, and you look forward to it. It just makes Abatement, Abatement.”

Diversity across the company

At Abatement Technologies, we employ people from all different age groups, backgrounds, and industries. This diversity is what Jaimie loves most about our team.

“The most fun part of the job is all of the different people you meet. Some of the most interesting people are here at Abatement Technologies. It’s so nice to learn about people and get to know their stories and how they ended up at Abatement. Everyone has their own story and it’s fun to learn about why they enjoy what they do.”

Meet Brandy Fulton - Human Resources and Health and Safety Specialist

At some organizations, some employees are just a number. But, this is not the case at Abatement Technologies. We know that our team members, or as we call them, Aire Guardians, are the secret to our success, so we’re committed to making Abatement Technologies the best place to work.

Recently, we sat down with Brandy Fulton, who was an HR Assistant at the time of our interview but has since been promoted to Human Resources and Health and Safety Specialist, to talk about her experience at the company..

Becoming an Aire Guardian

Brandy has been a part of the Abatement team for two years. After initially studying journalism, Brandy went back to school for human resources. When she saw a job opening at Abatement Technologies, she recognized it as an opportunity to put her degree to good use.

“Even at an entry level, I’ve gained leadership experience in my field of study, which has been an amazing opportunity.”

Despite changing industries from journalism to HR, her experience has not been wasted. Brandy got plenty of practice conducting interviews as a journalism student, which has served her well in her new role.

“The interviewing experience I had from journalism plays a huge role in the recruitment side of my job now.”

Keeping everyone safe

Safety is a critical concern when you’re manufacturing products at a scale like we are at Abatement Technologies. And it’s something Brandy doesn’t take lightly. She counts safety as the most crucial aspect of what she does.

“I always joke that I'm super accident-prone. And that's probably why health and safety is so important to me. For me, a good day is when I get to send everybody home in the same condition as when they showed up. A great day is when I get to laugh with at least one person on the shop floor, brighten their day, and get a few things knocked off of my to-do list.”

Bringing everyone under one roof

At the time of our conversation, we were only a few months away from moving into our new company headquarters. We asked Brandy how she felt about the big move.

“I can’t wait for the move! I love working in a medium-sized business because I really get to know everyone. You learn their names, their schedules, and even things about their families and interests. Moving to the new building means I’ll get to know even more people, and my work community will just keep growing.”

Why Brandy loves coming to work

To bring our conversation to a close, we talked with Brandy about what makes Abatement Technologies the company it is. For Brandy, it’s all about the team culture. Without it, the company wouldn’t be the same.

“Abatement definitely wouldn't be the same if we didn't have the sense of community that many of our staff have with each other. It's almost like high school because you get to see these people every day, learn about them, talk with them, and share stories. And you start building that family dynamic. The relationships you build make you want to come to work in the morning and see not just co-workers but people who have become your friends.”
