A global team, united in diversity
At IB, our people are our greatest asset. Our business partners, shipping clients, and employees are as diverse as the packages we ship and the geographic regions from which they originate. By surrounding ourselves with this diverse group of people, we continue to generate ideas that will provide better small-parcel shipping solutions and services for high-volume shippers.
International Bridge proudly connects over 300 colleagues across three continents—America, Asia, and Europe. IB is a US based company that operates internationally, across the globe. Our teams are spread throughout the US, but also in key locations outside of US such as Montenegro or Ukraine, with members contributing from diverse regions like China, Japan and Canada. This global reach brings together a wide range of perspectives and cultural insights, fostering innovation and collaboration on an international level.
Since its founding, IB has prioritized cultural diversity as a key element of its vision. This extends to our internal ethos, where diversity drives creativity. Network of strategic warehouses across the US and service to remote areas highlights our commitment to diversity and inclusion.
For over 20 years, IB has connected diverse regions through partnerships, collaboration, and shared learning. This approach is reflected within our workforce, where employees from different locations, backgrounds, and perspectives come together to collaborate and learn from one another.
Living the values
Celebrating teamwork: innovation and growth with T2l
At IB, we don’t just talk about our core values—we live them through team-building activities and meaningful interactions.
- Inspire aloha guides us to create a warm, inclusive environment where everyone feels valued.
- Embrace diversity means we see differences as opportunities for creativity and growth.
- Nurture change encourages adaptability and innovation in everything we do.
- And with Teach to learn (T2l), we believe that sharing knowledge strengthens our understanding and teamwork.
Through these dynamic experiences, we empower our employees to collaborate, innovate, and grow together. T2l for us is not just about strategy or process; it is about empowering our people and strengthening the foundation for our collective success.
And here is one nice piece of evidence of how we Teach to learn.
Recently, IB hosted a T2l in Montenegro, where our team came together for two sunny August days. This wasn’t just about discussing business achievements and plans; it was about celebrating each other’s unique contributions. It demonstrated the essence of “Inspire aloha” by fostering a supportive, inclusive environment. “Embrace diversity” was brought by learning from our different perspectives. The event embodied “Nurture change” as we evolved together, and “Teach to learn” by sharing knowledge and empowering one another to succeed.
This experience truly exemplified and highlighted our commitment to collaboration, innovation, and growth.
“On the day of T2l, I felt a strong sense of belonging to a company that genuinely nurtures the values I believe in, such as inclusivity, innovation, and collaboration. It made me feel that I’m in an environment where my contributions will be valued, and I can grow personally and professionally.”
This testimonial of employee is just a glimpse of how the T2l made participants feel and value the experience.
IB teaches us to continuously learn from each other and our different standpoints and personas, turning differences into our collective strength. The dynamic interaction through T2l concept enhances our ability to innovate and grow, reflecting the rich tapestry of perspectives that our team brings to every challenge. Events like IB Montenegro’s Teach to learn session, are much more than strategy discussions. They’re about creating a space where every team member can contribute and be recognized.
It’s a time to celebrate people. By sharing knowledge, we strengthen the bonds within the team and promote a culture where everyone feels valued. Through collaboration and embracing our core values—we build a foundation for long-term success and collective growth.
Building the future
Through initiatives like “Teach to learn,” we encourage openness, mutual support, and learning. Understanding diverse perspectives enriches our internal interactions and improves how we engage with clients and partners globally. This fosters inclusive relationships that inspire positive change. Guided by our mission to provide high-quality small-parcel shipping services and our vision to create inclusive bridges that go beyond borders, we remain committed to empowering our team, fostering collaboration, and leading with purpose. Together, we are stronger, more resilient, and ready to embrace the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
For us, the Teach to learn is more than just a team-building exercise—it is a reaffirmation of Who we are and What we stand for. Our vision, mission, core values and leadership principles are brought to life, driving collaboration, innovation, collective and personal growth.
As we continue to build on these foundations, we are excited about what the future holds for IB.
