What fun activities does your company offer employees to participate in? We do daily group stretching, a Halloween costume and pumpkin decorating contest, Spirit Week, a plastic-free month and hold an employee appreciation event.
How do you support community service work by your employees? We publicly acknowledge and salute individual employees who participate in community service in our monthly company newsletter. The commission also creates opportunities for our employees to give back to the community through a series of commission-sponsored charitable events.
Do you have a preference for promoting existing staff or hiring from outside and why? Our preference is to always look internally when new career opportunities arise. Our policy is to post positions internally first to review the quality of our own candidates before opening up a position to the general public. This approach has a positive impact on employee engagement and provides the commission with candidates who have the institutional knowledge that is so valuable within our industry.
