“Everyone here has the sense that right now is one of those moments
when we are influencing the future.” – Steve Jobs
It’s day 43 of lockdown in Los Angeles.
When difficult times strike, how we respond is one of the most truthful representations of who we are as people. Our CEO, for example, responded to the COVID-19 pandemic by purchasing and shipping reserve water, PPE, and other essential, hard to find supplies, like toilet paper and hand sanitizer, to team members all over Los Angeles. He constantly reminds us to stay healthy and doesn’t let anyone go on assignment in anything less than a biohazard suit.
It’s great to serve an organization that’s about the people and the businesses who turn to us. Our CEO’s generous response to these unprecedented circumstances inspired us to take a look at other companies who have turned this tumultuous time into an opportunity to give back and help us all go forward.
