PROMOTING FROM WITHIN
Training and career advancement is the norm
Sue Partridge is usually the first person prospective employees talk to, and she’s deeply invested in their growth at CDS. Thankfully, the company has extensive training and promotion opportunities within and between teams. These include everything from job shadowing to certification support to instructor-led training. Most recently, the company offered a two-day React development workshop, but other trainings covered soft skills like communication and time management. “When a team member demonstrates the initiative to learn and grow, there are even more opportunities at CDS,” said Partridge.

Our COO started working at CDS straight out of college and has worked his way through and up to his current role. It’s a great story!

RELATIONSHIPS MATTER
A family atmosphere inside the company and out
For CDS President Darren Phalen, relationships are everything — between CDS and parent company Freeman, between team members and between the company and its clients. “CDS will always be a family,” said Phalen, “and those genuine bonds are important because our client partners are a part of them too.” As a registration services company, CDS begins work with clients months in advance of events, so building strong rapport is essential. And with such strong relationships on the team, it’s just a matter of expanding that feeling of family — which has stayed strong even as CDS scales.

Registration is the very first thing any event attendee experiences, so it’s our responsibility to set the tone for each unique event experience.
