- Offering paid time-off for employees to volunteer with organizations that are meaningful to them
- Conducting regular employee surveys to learn how we can continue to make our organization an even better place to work
- Taking care of our employees through flex time options, work from home opportunities twice a month and Summer Hours where eligible employees may leave work early, provided they have worked their required hours for the week
- Serving our customers well through our Two-Hour Rule in which we return calls and emails within two hours during normal business hours
- Measuring our client service by participating in the independent Kingsley Index where we have been ranked first among companies reporting more than 30 million square feet
