companies in the U.S., centered around benchmarks like on-site training, and em- ployee involvement to prevent on-the-job injuries. We're particularly proud of that culture of care and accountability; it plays a huge role in what's driving our high reten- tion rates, and it extends way beyond our efforts to keep our team safe. In the course of day-to-day business, we take pains to give employees the latitude they need to lead fulfilling personal lives, whether they're rais- ing families or pursuing personal passions. People really feel it when you take values like safety, flexibility and work-life balance seriously. And when you're just giving those values lip service, they feel that too. Give your team opportunities to give back. Wyman's has long been an ardent supporter of the communities where our employees live and work. But most of that support, historically, has come in the form of dona- tions. While financial support is essential, as a company we realized that we can do so much more. Four years ago, we set a goal of spending 2,000 volunteer hours annually giv- ing back to our communities. We launched companywide service days — called Wildly Better Days. On those service days, more than 100 employees participate, doing everything from helping to build stages for the new Gateway Milbridge Theatre and Community Arts Center, to clearing overgrowth from the town of Harrison's only veterans' cemetery, to completing carpentry work to fix up the new headquarters of Women for Healthy Rural Living, and planting vegetables in the pick-for-free community garden they operate. This has been such an important initiative for Wyman's. It's a true trifecta of benefits: it strengthens connections across our team, enriches the community and is uplifting to all who participate. n S P R I N G 2 0 2 3 / W O R K F O R M E 19 C o m m e n t a r y Business services firms have seen a range of new hires.
