NRG Global Inc looking to be Chicago’s home of continuous professional development

The Chicago-based sales and marketing outfit have declared their desire to be recognised as the city’s home of continuous professional development - or ‘CPD’.

NRG Global: About the firm

Managing Director of NRG Global Inc Rafael Grossi knows all about the importance of committing to both personal and professional growth, having been Captain of the Brazilian Water Polo team for 7 years before whetting his appetite for business.

Indeed, it is Grossi’s belief that keeping people on their toes through the pursuit of continuous professional development creates an enjoyable working environment - one that embraces fresh perspectives, and challenges complacency.

“Our aim at NRG has always been to create a work culture where we offer a platform for people to grow with us - keeping them motivated and hungry for more. We want to constantly challenge ourselves and the way we approach different situations,” states Grossi. With this ideal firmly in mind, NRG Global Inc have sent some of their contractors to Miami on a business trip, in order to gain further experience in some of Florida’s busiest consumer markets.

When Grossi was asked if these travel arrangements indicated his firm’s commitment to continuous professional development, he replied;

“We want to provide a platform of opportunity as much as possible for the people we work with. If we have to explore new customer behaviour trends in Seattle, Los Angeles, New York, or wherever - then we’ll go there if it benefits them and our client base.”

It is clear that NRG Global Inc wants to compete with larger companies in their area who might not be so invested in the individual, where they may or may not be treated more as a number and receive less personal attention. Grossi believes this is where SMEs like his own NRG Global Inc can offer something a bit more to retain the best talent in their industry of sales and marketing.

On the firm’s website it states that they offer a comprehensive outsourcing package, including design and execution, where they take care of everything from recruitment, product training to live market research - sharing their clients’ vision and values.

NRG Global has set out the foundations to be recognised for their CPD efforts, and contend firmly that they do their utmost to encourage and assist the people they work with to reach their full potential.
