GreaterReading.org large-scale employee appreciation events such as our previous trips to Hersheypark. We want our associates to have a steady stream of fun and community-building events that elevates our culture and shows appreciation for the hard work everyone puts into serving our customers. Making Singer a fun place to work is important to building our culture, but we put even more focus on making sure our team members have a rewarding career at Singer. Our team members receive training that enhances their professional skills and provides opportunity to take on new responsibilities. To provide career growth opportunities for our team members we continue to grow organically and through acquisitions. There is always a chance for promotion and to take on new challenges. Our team members need to have deep expertise in our portfolio to help our clients, and this expertise takes years to acquire. Therefore, we want our team members to see Singer as a place where they can build a rewarding and lifelong career. We work hard to communicate with our team members so that everyone understands how the company is doing, what our company goals are, and how those goals relate to the work of each associate. It makes a big difference when everyone knows what we are trying to accomplish together and how we are doing in achieving our goals. The pandemic has changed what our employees want from Singer. Many of our team members who have worked remotely for the last year and a half want more flexibility in their schedule going forward. We recognize that certain elements of office work are important to help grow our culture, collaborate on project work and help train new associates. But we will create options and opportunities for many of our team members who have enjoyed the benefits of working from their home. Our mission is to create enriching relationships with all who touch our business - customers, vendors and employees alike. We are on a never-ending quest to make Singer a company that attracts the best talent and a place where our associates chose to build a happy and fulfilling career. -Fred Singer, Singer Equipment Co.
