We Are Zyloware

When it comes to company culture, Zyloware’s leadership believes that your impact and your values are your brand. 

According to the Harvard Business Review, many business leaders are confounded by the concept of company culture. They’re not sure how to implement it, because much of it is anchored in unspoken behaviors, mindsets, and social patterns. Often CEOs relegate the important job to HR, where it often falls on the back burner of company priorities.  

That has never been the case at Zyloware. “People who work with us and for us are our biggest asset and resource,” said Jamie Shyer, “so they’re always at the top of the list.” From a leadership perspective, the Shyers foster an environment where their employees — and partners — feel like they’re working together seamlessly to produce products of excellence that everyone is proud of.  

Zyloware’s full-time employees, temps, and account managers are an ethnically, racially, and religiously diverse group. They also have many women in executive-level positions. “We just hire the best people for the jobs, and it turns out that way,” Jamie said. “We don’t have a problem with equity inclusion.”  

This culture of diversity, inclusion and support also extends inter-departmentally, so the teams work seamlessly together toward their common goals. For instance, the marketing team is equipped to create customer-specific social media campaigns that are authentic and resonant with a broad consumer base. 

The supply chain group works closely with sales to deliver the right amount of product to retailers in the right amount of time. The quality control department is always in the loop, maintaining the utmost consistency of the product, so that the frames a customer tries on in the store will be exactly the same as what they go home with. Everyone is committed to producing product that features top-notch design, comfort, and fit at an affordable price.  

A diverse sales department can connect with our many retailers, help them assess their inventory and identify any niches they need to fill. “If Zyloware isn’t currently producing a certain type of product we can make it for them,” said Chris Shyer. 

Looking toward the future, and the next 100 years, we are still going to be who we are, Chris and Jamie both say. “We will have the same core values, the same DNA— this is what makes us special and successful, we believe, for ourselves and our partners. In a world that becomes more and more corporate we’re always going to stand out as a special kind of business.”  

Though the industry may be in a continuous trajectory of reinvention (and improvement) in terms of both vision and eye options for consumers, Zyloware has made it clear to the market that what got them to this milestone will stay the same. Which is why they’re the best partner to navigate the next 100 years.
