Tim Wittman, Fulfillment Director
Nordstrom
"At Nordstrom we participate in
several community events. For
example, each year we encourage
our employees to volunteer for the
United Way's Day of Caring as a way
to stay connected to the needs of
the communities we work in. We also
pay them for their time to demonstrate our commitment to
serving others."
Stacy Whisel, President
Godfrey
"Learning is a Godfrey core value.
Marketing communications is a
field that is constantly changing
and evolving so we encourage our
team members to be fascinated, to
keep learning. We offer educational
opportunities through Godfrey
University which has included training sessions around
our industry and clients' key topics and trends. The classes
are taught by our internal team and external partners.
We also set aside a training budget each year, and team
members can submit a request to attend a conference or
outside training as long as they demonstrate how it will
help us continue to advance in a particular skillset or area of
expertise.
Teamwork is also a Godfrey core value. So we look for
ways to enable our teams to become the strongest they
can be. That means encouraging team members to get to
know each other and have fun outside of the day-to-day
work. We have a Happy Half Hour every Wednesday at
4:30 for socializing and we also have internal food days
throughout the year like 'mater day (tomato sandwiches
when everyone's gardens are overflowing with them),
Thanksgiving sides day (no turkey, just sides) and Latin
Food day."

Ethan Demme, President & CEO
Demme Learning
"One of our core values at Demme
Learning is 'Shared Success' and
that means sharing with our local
community. One of the ways we
reinforce this value is by giving every
employee two days of paid time off,
called 'Do Good Days,' to volunteer
in their local communities. It's one of the ways we can give
back, and support our neighbors."

Michelle Rondinelli,
Co-Owner & President
Kitchen Kettle Foods, Inc.
"We are very big on fun and
recognition at all levels. To make
sure this is happening we have
'You've Been Caught' notes that team
members can fill out to recognize
anyone that they feel has gone above
and beyond. They write a short note to the person and
the person receiving the note puts it in our fish bowl for a
monthly drawing. When the winner is picked the person that
wrote the note and the one that received it spin the Wheel of
Recognition for some sort of prize - 30 minute massage, free
lunch, movie tickets, etc. We take their picture together and
display it at our reception area for everyone to see.
They are also mentioned in our bi-weekly internal cue
card (newsletter)."
