AtmoSpirit is more than a “program” or an “initiative.” It is a unique culture, embracing shared values
among can-do individuals in a workplace that nurtures and rewards leadership.
“At Atmos Energy, we have created a great culture,” said Ralyn Fletcher, the company’s director of
employment and employee relations and chair of its enterprisewide Culture Council. “So, our mission is to
preserve it, protect it and continue to articulate it: Here’s who we are. Here’s what’s important to us. And,
here’s why.”
For Ray Kallas, lead recruitment and stang, “It’s all about the right attitude. What that means to me
is people who are willing to serve other people.”
Leading by example has been a hallmark of AtmoSpirit since it was launched in 1998. rough
workshops, peer training and ongoing communications, AtmoSpirit
Director Bonnie McElearney has watched the organization’s culture
grow cohesive during her 18 years with the company.
“Employees stay with Atmos Energy because they like working
here,” McElearney said. at sense of satisfaction keeps turnover low
and loyalty high.
ere’s no better example of that than Pearl Simon, an executive
assistant for the Kentucky/Mid-States Division in Owensboro, Kentucky,
who was hired in June of 1958.
“I can hardly wait to get to work each day,” Simon said. “And, I’ve
been working here now for more than 54 years.”
