In the face of challenging diversity in workplaces, it is necessary to embrace differences and adapt. Mr. Jose Saez, Executive Director & Advisor of Deltalab, who is based in Spain’s Barcelona, is with Passionate Experiences today to share how he has excelled in a multicultural environment. Mr. Jose has found no problem working with people whose mother languages are different and are always six hours apart.

“My key role is to support SCGP and our team in Spain so that they can connect and collaborate smoothly. My contributions have facilitated management, strategic planning, and direction for our common goals and directions with collaborations and maximum synergy.

“Today, marketing is not at all easy. It’s very challenging because in the post COVID-19 pandemic period, Russia-Ukraine War has erupted. In the past year, the cost of raw materials has risen significantly. Transportation has also become harder to handle. Despite these many challenges, we have been driving up our sales. Our mission can be successful if we look ahead. Don’t think just about today or tomorrow. We must foresee what our business will be like in the next five years to pave the way for efficient strategy formulation. With SCGP by our side, I believe we will always stay competitive.”

DIVERSITY PAVES THE WAY FOR NEW IDEAS

“Working in diverse environments is not something new to me. After investing in Deltalab in 2007, I have acquired many other businesses in various locations to drive our business growth. So, I have managed companies in Madrid, Valencia, and Murcia as well. Spain is a small country and very diverse in terms of languages and cultures. Based in Barcelona, I speak Catalan. People in Madrid, meanwhile, speak Spanish. In my view, diversity is a good thing for the company because it has spawned the development of new things. Partnering with SCGP adds to diversity. It is a blend that fosters new ideas and brings in new perspectives. I am confident that the partnership will enable us to achieve sustainable growth.

“I am impressed with SCGP because SCGP always believes in the value of everyone. At every meeting, things go smoothly because there is a strong emphasis on mutual respect, acceptance of diversity, and readiness to listen. Such culture is useful to the pursuit of our goals.

“To me, passion is important to both work and personal life. Deltalab has been my passion for more than 16 years already. When we work on something we are passionate about, we will excel. So, when we embrace passion in our living, that counts too. Passion is not just about work. It’s also about families and friends. We can even share passions with people around us.
