Provide an example. As a Blue Zones of Southwest Florida Approved Worksite, we have several Community Service Days each year. From Beach Cleanups, to Grilling for Farm City Barbecue every year, it is a challenge to choose only one example. One of the most memorable Community Service Days was when the PBS team visited the home of a disabled young woman in the community and helped finish the project we were working on to make her home more accessible and her quality of life better for her and her family. PBS installed a state-of-the-art lift system in their home, making it easier to lift the young girl out of bed every morning, and transport her to different areas in her home. Over 15 PBS Team Members showed up on a Saturday to widen doors to make them wheelchair accessible, install a generator, paint, and miscellaneous other handyman projects that were needed throughout the home. All materials, including the lift system and the mechanics, were donated, and all labor was donated time as well. The young girl's name is Eva Soukup, and today she still enjoys riding her lift "like a roller coaster" as she would say. You can watch a testimonial from her mother, Sheryl, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE-KkrOhDS4&t=23s What makes your company a great place to work? Describe your culture and accomplishments. PBS is a locally owned builder of custom, luxury homes and commercial projects with a great community reputation and an amazing corporate culture. Recently celebrating its 35th year in business, the company's purpose statement is "We Build Better Lives for our Team, for our Clients, and for our Community." According to Founder, Russell Budd, who recently turned over the reins to the Company and assumed a supporting/mentorship role, "Our Team comes first for a reason. A happy team equals happy clients, and a happier community." The purpose statement is supported through the adoption of 28 Fundamental principles that include such things as, "Do the Right Thing Always", "Listen Generously", "Assume Positive Intent", and "Take Responsibility for Achieving Results". These fundamentals are not merely hung on walls but are embraced at every level of the organization, guide decision making, and are reinforced on a weekly basis at meetings and in discussions. Fundamental #28 is "Have Fun". Every 28 weeks we reinforce this with a Fun Week, hosting daily activities or meals that promote team spirit and camaraderie. Commitment to work -life balance, understanding the relationship that a happy team plays in producing happy clients who rave about our results, focusing on quality as well as schedule and budget, and giving meaning and value to our work combine to create a "best place to work." 2018 Collier Child Care Resources Employer of the Year - Small to Medium Size Business 2019 Collier Child Care Resources Employer of the Year - Small to Medium Size Business Blue Zones of Southwest Florida Approved Worksite Packet Pg. 14
