Each year, our Owner and Employee Success Manager sit down with each employee for a one-on-one conversation to discuss:
C: their ideas and aspirations for their career
O: feedback and suggestions regarding our operations
R: creating and strengthening their relationships
E: ensuring quality of our environments
This is just one of many “extra” benefits you receive when you choose to join the SHBD family.
We strive to live our core values every day in every way. Our core values define how we work together, problem solve, make decisions, teach, and so much more. We want to also help instill these awesome character traits in our children from the very beginning--we teach our core values to our kids and help them understand what they mean.
