At Green, one of our fundamentals is think team first. This shows in the employee feedback with 91% of employees saying when they joined the company, they were made to feel welcome.
Green employees believe that our company continues to make efforts to contribute to society. Employees are given PTO for volunteering separate from other PTO. This has created many different volunteer opportunities across our 16 locations from volunteering at food banks to local trash clean ups. Companywide initiatives include donating a tree for every new customer, shipment and employee, in the first quarter of this year Green donated 21,056 trees. Green also partners with St. Jude’s with all offices participating in the yearly fundraising drive. Sustainability is not just about the environment but also helping in the community and making the world a better place.
Green employees strongly believe they can take time off when necessary. Taking time off is essential to maintaining overall health and productivity. Allowing employees to mentally and physically recharge, reduces tension and prevents burnout. This not only helps employees but also the company, increasing employee retention, mental health, and productivity.
