Comprised of employees that cover the departmental and hierarchical spectrum of the company, the CFC is explicitly tasked with being a wellspring of infectiously positive, inspiring culture that nurtures staff professionally and personally. A sampling of the initiatives includes: staff-and-family trips to theme parks, holiday parties, implementing suggestions from staff, facilitating employee training programs, sponsoring employee sporting activities, creating staff health and wellness programs, and conducting monthly fundraisers on behalf of local charities.
Optima is a rich tapestry, with our staff coming from many different countries, cultures, and backgrounds. But there’s one thing we all share: a passion for helping our clients, our colleagues, and the community-at-large.
