More than a paycheck:
“We put a strong emphasis on the survey results from
the Best Places to Work. After the first or second
survey, we put together a benefits booklet that now
comes out annually. It shows what benefits were
used, what was contributed and it details all the
benefits employees can take advantage of. Since we
have such high retention, this ensures our long-time
employees do not forget what we have to offer.”
You can have fun at work:
• “This year, we put together a celebration budget
where every location, department and branch has a
budget to encourage celebration when achieving
their goals.”

“Being recognized in a variety of programs, surveys and awards shows our
commitment to our associates, clients and the community. It is good not just for the
organization, but for every single one of our associates. These recognitions are
accomplished through them so they should be recognized for it.”
