Community
Focusing on our people and the people
in our community.
We are proud to invest in the communities in which we live by supporting many non-profit partners and community initiatives. We encourage our team members to become involved in their communities, lending their voluntary support to programs that positively impact the quality of life within these communities.
In addition to an annual corporate giving campaign, our PeopleConnect Crew, a cross-functional team of employee owners devoted to focusing on our people and the people of our community, plans and coordinates activities for our team members to connect within the Worzalla community as well as opportunities for team members to offer their time, services, and financial assistance to non-profit partners and initiatives to positively impact the communities in which we live.
