For Nahian Akib, variety is more than the spice of life. It\u2019s a crucial ele<\/span>ment of hon<\/span>ing his skills and learning new things as an HR professional.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI enjoy working with people from different backgrounds,\u201d He says of his preferred work environment. \u201cHearing their perspectives helps me adopt modern practices and keep my knowledge of the HR space up-to-date.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n This approach is well-suited to Field Nation\u2019s global team.<\/span><\/p>\n Nahian joined Field Nation in 2018 as a Talent Acquisition Specialist, overseeing recruitment in both Bangladesh\u2019s capital Dhaka (where he lives) and in Minneapolis, where Field Nation is headquartered. In time, he was promoted to the role of HR generalist, where he applies his formidable skillset to a wider range of people-related business operations.<\/span><\/p>\n “Working in HR, you never know exactly what your day has in store or what will come up. Every day brings something new,\u201d he says. \u201cThat excites me about my job.\u201d<\/p>\n As for Field Nation, Nahian is quick to point out that the company\u2019s values are key in making that excitement possible. The first word he uses to describe Field Nation\u2019s culture is \u201cinclusive.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cEveryone feels involved in pretty much every initiative Field Nation takes on.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cField Nation walks the walk when it comes to having an employee-centric culture,\u201d he continues. \u201cIt\u2019s not just something they say: the company really values people. Actually, people are at the core of its values, and that\u2019s very impressive.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The second word he uses to describe Field Nation\u2019s culture? \u201cTransparent.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cField Nation never keeps its employees in the dark when it comes to sharing important business updates, and that goes a long way in making employees feel valued. That transparency is vital.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Recently, Nahian had the opportunity to contribute to that transparency. As one of the first big projects in his new role, he helped gather company-wide employee engagement data that he then analyzed and presented to key leaders. This crucial work is integral to constantly strengthening Field Nation\u2019s employee-centric culture.<\/span><\/p>\n In his free time, Nahian enjoys getting adventurous with food. He and his friends in Dhaka have formed a group (comprised partially of other Field Nation team members) committed to creating and trying new dishes whenever possible. He shares these recipes and experiences with Field Nation\u2019s Minneapolis office via Slack message\u2013\u2013that way, both offices can keep a dialogue going and <\/span>stay clued into one another\u2019s culinary exploits.<\/span><\/p>\n This global relationship between Dhaka and Minneapolis is essential to the Field Nation experience, and it is not confined to digital correspondence. In early 2020, before the pandemic, CTO Travis Emslander and CEO Mynul Khan traveled to Bangladesh to meet with Nahian and his broader, Dhaka-based team. This year, team members from Bangladesh have plans to visit their colleagues in Minneapolis.<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s a trend that Nahian would like to see continue: \u201cThis is how we build collaboration.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For Nahian Akib, variety is more than the spice of life.
