Corporate Profile: ODW Logistics Getting the Most from Your Staffing Provider

June 24, 2015

ODW LOGISTICS includes some unusual notions in its purpose statement and values: Love and laughter aren’t, after all, common factors in corporate visions. ODW claims the importance of those things – along with ethics, candor, spirit, community and family, for example – as fundamentals in its operations. Bringing life to these values is part of employees’ day-to-day practice. John Ness, ODW president, describes the company’s values as near and dear to most people’s hearts. “One of the best things I learned from my father [company co-founder Bob Ness] is that we’re in the people business,” says Ness. Consequently, as the company focuses on attracting, developing and retaining “the best customers, associates and investors,” its values are central; they express both what the company offers and what it expects.
