Champagne Flowed Today at IBEX

The IBEX Herd gathered for a toast yesterday, just before noon.

Our new payroll platform, Everest, ran its biggest payroll ever. Sure we’ve tested it for this size of payroll, but testing it and actually using it are two different things and definitely worth celebrating.

The good news is Alpine Crew, who ultimately reports to our payroll customers, was happy with the results. Our Mountain Do team and the Herd Geeks out did themselves and were at the receiving end of today’s toast.

Even just from reading that post, my stomach had a nervous knot in it. Glad to hear everything went smoothly! I can see it now – one day, the entire world’s payroll done simultaneously through Everest…. not sure if envisioning an IBEX global monopoly is quite ethical…. regardless. Congratulations!

IBEX Payroll extends our profound respect and immeasurable gratitude to all the ancestors and keepers of the land on whose traditional territories our work takes place. We acknowledge that we are on Treaty 1 territory, the traditional gathering place of the Anishinaabe, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Dene people and the traditional homeland of the Métis people. This land is sacred, historical, and significant.

Every time we acknowledge this truth, we have an invitation and an opportunity to reflect on the wrongs of the past, what we do in the present, and what we can do to continually honour the people whose lands and water we benefit from today.

This statement only acts as a first step in honouring the land we reside on and its peoples, and must be paired with education, understanding and informed action.
