12 Days of Christmas Stories 2021: Day 1

Hello to our 5^th year together of stories shared 😊

Day 1: Welcome Home

These emails fill my heart and soul; I feel beyond blessed for the opportunity to shed a little light on the good work we’re doing in this corner of our world. I’m so incredibly PROUD of our team – and I use that in the broadest sense to include our internal team, our candidates we work with, our customers, and our community.

I didn’t like Webster’s definition of Home – so I found a different one; “Where a person feels safe and accepted…requiring an emotional connection and sense of belonging”

Welcome Home….

• We have worked with Andrew for 2 years. He had some attendance issues where we first placed him and so, we pivoted in a different direction. With a little coaching from us and personal accountability decisions from him – he landed in a forever home where he proved  his attendance and his skills. He just went through interviews for a perm spot where we know we’ll see him for years to come. We’ll always be in your corner cheering, Andrew!
• John came to us while working in a role for $16/hr – he was miserable, absolutely hated his job and unclear of where to go next….he accepted an offer with a really cool client of ours for $20/hr and he still calls us to tell us “This is the best company I’ve ever worked for” – We’re SO proud that he found a home where he’s treated so well, we all deserve to feel as good as John does in his forever home.
• We stopped working with a customer a few years back bc of the high turnover of people we were working with in the facility – it became clear we weren’t able to do our best work without a collaborative partner. This year, they called us because someone from our Vision Family started working there and wanted things done right…feels good to be reunited again.
• Lane found us while looking for a shorter commute. His challenge in the job market was that he had hopped around quite a bit. After a few interviews, he landed in his forever home….he walks to work, it takes 7 minutes, he has more time with his family and every time we talk to him he can’t stop raving about how much he loves his boss. ❤

We’re just getting started, 11 more days of stories to touch your heart and demonstrate the emotional connection and sense of belonging for so many. Finding someone a home isn’t always easy, but someone’s going to do it – and we choose to “One Person at a Time”

Best,

Heather
