One of our favorite things to do here at Simplx is to spotlight our hard-working, dedicated employees. This month we are featuring our Executive Administrator Janna Slone. Check out our interview with her to see what it’s really like working behind the scenes at Simplx Security.
Janna’s Simplx story
Simplx: Hi, Janna! Thanks so much for being our first employee highlight! Can you tell us a little about yourself, how you came to be part of the Simplx family? What’s your role here and how does it affect daily operations?
Janna: Hi, there! Thanks for having me. I was born in Indiana but raised out west, in California. After graduation, I decided to move to Indiana and started my banking career at the age of 18. I have been with my husband for 13 years and we have 3 boys, ages 17, 14 and 6. We enjoy outdoor activities and keeping up with our boys’ busy sports schedules.
I was in commercial banking for 14 years. I met Nate & Tara during my tenure there, and they asked me to join the team back in 2016 to take on Human Resources and handle the financial side of the business. I’ve been with Simplx ever since (7 years to date and still going strong).
It’s been a wild ride with many laughs and challenges, but so worth it!
Why Simplx is such a great place to work
Simplx: Nate and Tara are definitely some of the best people to work for. What’s your absolute favorite thing about being in the Simplx family and what have been your greatest challenges along the way?
Janna: My favorite part of working at Simplx is definitely the people that we have on our team; we truly care for and support each other. The many laughs that we share each day makes coming to work fun!
There are many challenges to my job especially when it comes to the ever changing tax laws and keeping up with all the technology changes that our company faces. But, with the growing need for security as a part of daily life for many people in Indiana, it’s a challenge that is noble and always satisfying to overcome.
The future from a Simplx perspective
Simplx: We do have a pretty great crew here. We’re indeed a lively bunch and there is always a belly laugh coming from somewhere down the hall.
The ever-changing horizon of technology is certainly something Simplx has experienced and makes a priority to embrace and keep up with. With this consideration, what hopes and goals do you have for the future here at Simplx?
Janna: My hope is to never stop learning in my role. There is nothing worse than feeling stagnant. I want to continue to evolve with the company as it grows.
There are many aspects to my position and with the continued success that Simplx is having, it will provide so many opportunities for advancement within the company for all employees. I’m very excited to see where it leads!
Advice for Simplx workers & applicants
Simplx: Simplx is growing so fast, and we are always working towards a brighter tomorrow. With this in mind, what advice would you give to people who work with Simplx Security now or are seeking to in the future; whether as a customer or to join our team of employees?
Janna: I would advise the employees and customers to be open minded to change. Technology is a huge part of the security industry. For Simplx to be competitive, we have to keep up with the newest releases and trends, which will bring constant learning curves.
Plus, the more you learn, the better off you’ll be. There is more to gain from sticking with it, than one might think.
As one of my favorite quotes says, “Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass; it’s about learning to dance in the rain.” So dance, learn and watch what happens.
“My hope is to never stop learning in my role. There is nothing worse than feeling stagnant. I want to continue to evolve with the company as it grows.”
