I am empowered to make a difference, to be heard, and to grow. There is balance and the well-being of employees are considered in every situation. The simplicities of communication and effective listening are demonstrated by leadership first. Internal customer service is equally important as external. Giving of one's best and exploring opportunities for improvement are demonstrated with leadership first. Employees are recognized for their teamwork, accomplishments, and efforts. This includes the recognition of the simple and priceless things of life such as birthdays.

I enjoy what I do. We are given the tools/equipment needed to accomplish our assignments. And my department works well together to get all tasks completed in a timely manner

I feel appreciated and valuable to the organization.

I truly work with leaders who support me to be better. They believed in me and inspired me to learn.

I enjoy the team. I am thankful for flexibility of in office or remote work. I enjoy the nature of the work. The holidays are very nice as well. I believe leadership cares for us and our families well being.

I love my job because I enjoy working with the public. Being able to help someone is what I love doing, makes me feel like I'm making a difference somehow. Another reason why I love my job, is because it's challenging at times. This keeps me motivated, as I don't like being bored.

Overall, OCPA and my department are organizations where I feel included, respected, and able to have a work/life balance. Most jobs say they support a work/life balance, but that isn't usually the case. The atmosphere is happy, relaxed, and flexible, but that does not impede work from being done. I truly feel appreciated and heard.

We have such a collaborative and supportive team; every day feels like a new challenge. The opportunity to grow and the positive team environment make me love what I do. I am motivated to give my best every day.

I learn something new each day.
