We strive to attract top talent, enrich our employees' professional and personal lives, and deliver top-notch service to our clients. We push employees to communicate directly with management, in formal and informal settings, and routinely hold events at which various departments get together and update one another on projects. These can take place in a meeting room, a bowling alley, or a fitness center. Our goals is for employees to work hard, have fun, and grow as people and as professionals.

Brave Care sets the tone for employee development the moment an employee is onboarded. Managers are given clear expectations for themselves as both a leader and for their teams. Cross-departmental leadership learnings are shared each week during a roundtable discussion, which enables team leads and managers to discuss any pain points their team might be experiencing. Our leadership team's commitment to all staff is unparalleled. Their famous catch phrase is "We got you." And they mean it.

Culture, customer, and community are our watchwords. And it's no coincidence that culture comes first. It's how our team achieved close to a 50 percent increase in sales in 2020, despite all the challenges we have faced individually and as a community. We worked hard to make a safe work environment, support every team member, and maintain a strong culture through Covid-safe team outings, mental health days, and celebrations of milestones and successes.

Our core values are to put customers first; be real, and real kind; start with yes; and stay well-rounded and well-rested. During our hiring process, we ask questions regarding inclusive behavior and alignment with our values, to make sure every addition is kind, collaborative, and welcoming to others. Our onboarding process includes teaching new employees how to put our values into practice, as well as scheduled meet-and-greets with employees across the organization. We've also built a robust, real-time feedback loop that gives every employee ample opportunity to be heard.
