Getting to know Barley Atkinson

For the Love of Hamsters

Some people really like their jobs. They get up each day looking forward to mingling with co-workers, tapping the free water from the kitchen cooler, and really making a difference. And then there are those who take their love for their work a little too far.

Welcome to 2009

As of 6:31 p.m. on Thursday, July 2, Brown has officially joined Facebook. This of course is after the other 200 million active users decided to do it.

Employee Identity Crisis

Everyone at Element has his or her own unique personality. Some are laidback, while others are more intense. There are some employees who wear t-shirts, shorts and flip-flops, and others who wear dress shirts with black pants. These different qualities are important to our culture, and that is why we are concerned about one particular employee.

Getting to Know Sue Barrett

Sue has been with Element since the beginning, and has over twenty years of accounting experience and a background in marketing. She loves the people she works with at Element, as long as they clean up after themselves. And a quick word to the wise, Sue has been known to throw away the office toaster if left out for too long. (Element is currently on toaster number three.)
