Helping Employees Help Each Other
Dionis Cochrane knows how to bring out the best in people and inspire them to capitalize on individual strengths when working toward common goals. The North Atlantic District Operations Business Manager has been with UPS for more than 16 years. Early in her career, she was tapped to participate as a mentee in a pilot program she later learned was the cornerstone of the Women’s Leadership Development Business Resource Group (BRG) in the North Atlantic District. It wasn’t long before she emerged as a leader. “We were invited to give feedback to the coordinator of the program on how it was going and what else we wanted to get out of it,” Dionis says. “It was a two-way street: it allowed us to be really open about challenges we faced in our careers and it ultimately helped shape what the Women’s BRG later became.”
“The same talent pool I pull from to help me personally with my challenges, UPS can use to drive sales.”
