Additional Culture Details
We try to make a strategic effort to conduct several fun events (in person and virtually) to continue to foster employee engagement. Our corporate culture has always been very important to us and we did not want to lose that asset due to the pandemic. These included events such as a murder mystery, beer tasting and education event, “cereal/serial killers” Halloween focused event and several team happy hour events. We also encouraged our team members to attend conferences and educational webinars virtually, so that they could continue to develop their education and knowledge. We made sure that each month we host an event or send goodies such as cookie baskets, DoorDash gift cards, company apparel, etc. to employees home to remind them that we are here for them at all times.
