Convergint’s affinity group for women, Convergint Women Connect, aims to evolve Convergint’s culture through advocacy, education, community, and visibility. Their mission is to make Convergint the most equitable and inclusive global service provider for women of all identities and backgrounds. Through visibility, CWC’s goal is to foster an environment that lifts underrepresented voices within Convergint and the industry through initiatives focused on recognition and networking. To recognize and celebrate women across Convergint Nation, Convergint Women Connect has created the Daily Difference Award.

The Daily Difference Award is a peer-nominated recognition award given to women at Convergint who make a daily difference by representing one of the company’s most deeply-held Values and Beliefs: I have integrity–it’s what I do when no one’s watching.

This quarter, Katy Caneus was one of three Daily Difference Award recipients. Nominated by her colleagues for her efforts in supporting her colleagues and local CTC each and every day. Katy is committed to representing the best in a colleague and always makes the right decisions for her and the company. Read the interview below where Katy discusses her career at Convergint, and how she continues her efforts in delivering the best service possible.

“With the challenges brought on by the pandemic, having a toddler, and the immense workload following the sales success of the CTC 921, Katy was a key element in allowing anyone on the team to move forward. At all times, she presents herself smiling and in a good mood, always full of good intentions. She is our ray of sunshine!”

Cost Administrator

Tell us a little bit about your career with Convergint.

I’ve been with Convergint for about 4 years now. My role is cost administrator, and I work a lot on the project management side and billing. I have an excellent time working with my team as they are all so great. I truly love my job because I have the ability to do all sorts of things daily, I’m never just doing only one thing. Some days I work on project reviews, and towards the end of the year I focus on billing more. There is never a dull moment working at Convergint either, I have the best time doing what I do!

You won the Daily Difference Award based on your ongoing commitment to Convergint’s V&B: I have integrity–it’s what I do when no one’s watching. What does this value mean to you?

To me, integrity means that when I am working with a customer, I am representing Convergint and its company values. I make an effort to be as professional as I can, even if things may not be going the way we want them to. When a customer meets me, I want them to think that I represent the company well and embody its beliefs to the fullest. That is what I want our customers to see.

What's your favorite part of your role at Convergint?

One big thing that I love about my job is the relationship that I have with my team and my colleagues in the office. Also, as I mentioned before, I am lucky to be able to have a job that doesn’t involve doing the same exact things every day. I really enjoy coming to the office and being able to do something different each day. I think having a wide range of responsibilities is something that has helped improve my skills and abilities, and a better me is a better Convergint.

What is the one item you can't leave your home without?

One item I can’t leave my home without would definitely be my coffee. The mug I am using right now was made by my daughter. She went to a local place called the Ceramic Café and worked hard to make it for me. I bring that mug with me every time I go to work, so not only am I getting my caffeine for the day but I think of her every time I use it.

What is your secret to making a daily difference?

My secret in making a daily difference is being the light to my colleagues’ day. People always tell me that I have a great personality, and I am known for always having a smile on my face. You really never know what other people are going through, so bringing a little bit of happiness into someone’s day can mean a lot more than you may think.
