We have a strong philosophical belief that our people are our most important assets. And we don’t just pay lip service to that phrase — we incorporate it into our policies, and we live it every day. Yes, that philosophy means we have generous “traditional” benefits, but it also means we take a lot of time to focus on high quality management and leadership, and time to make sure everyone in the company is in the right job, knows how his or her job contributes to the overall company mission, and has a clear sense of learning and career growth. We have great employee retention over the years because people love coming to work here and really feel like they’re part of something special.
