P.B. Bell’s company culture is not only a priority, but it is the key to our nearly 50 years of success. Prior to COVID, we established a culture club whose focus is employee engagement, and they execute various activities throughout the year to encourage collaboration, recognition (such as peer-to-peer recognition for those going above in displaying their values in their work activities), and wellness (such as employee appreciation days, volunteer events, wellness challenges and our annual holiday event).
P.B. Bell loves to get creative and tried out two new initiatives in the past year. We had a “Love Yourself” campaign where we encouraged staff to put wellness at the forefront of their days during an entire month. One example of this: We encouraged employees to take a walk around their community and share photos of these outdoor workouts. Another example: We did a “Cuddle Bunch” event with the Arizona Humane Society, where they brought in puppies to bring joy to the office, and we donated to the organization. P.B. Bell also offers personal perks to employees. Some of these include RecoveryOne (that includes a virtual PT solution with a designated health coach to assist with exercise and meal plans), financial wellness support with direct access to company-sponsored financial planner (Voya) and quarterly retirement educational meetings, wellness visit incentives, paid volunteer hours and rent discounts.
In addition to all these great events and perks, P.B. Bell ensures that a positive work environment is part of its core fundamentals. We pride ourselves on appropriately staffing our teams, to provide a strong work/life balance as well as prevent employee burnout. Because we take care of our employees, we have many who have been with the company for more than 10, 20 and even 30 years. Additionally, we have a roving team of tenured employees who fill in as needed across our portfolio. This provides opportunities for mentorship and seasoned support that ensures our teams are not overloaded.
