This fourth-generation family-owned business finds many ways to let its team members know how much they are valued and appreciated. Employees share in the company’s success through a bonus pool from which they can elect to have a portion contributed directly to their 401(k). The value of their bonus increases based on their length of service and role in the company. Leaders also surprise team members with extra paychecks or extra paid time off.
Team members who reach major milestones at 20 years or more receive personalized gifts or experiences valued from $500 to $1,000 depending on the anniversary. When retiring, team members with 30+ years of service or more receive a $5,000 to $10,000 trip.
PROCON holds an annual Employee Appreciation Event that includes a state of the company presentation, softball tournament and cornhole competition, and a catered BBQ lunch, as well as annual Family Fun Day. Last year, they held Family Fun Day at their office with a petting zoo, photo booth, face painting, balloon animals and catered by the Puritan Backroom.
Safety and health are a priority at PROCON. Among its popular wellness offering is a gym with a Peloton subscription, treadmills, ellipticals, bikes, weights, and rowing machines, on-site yoga classes, on-site chair massages, and a fresh market.
Among the policies PROCON put in place based on employee feedback are: a work-from-home policy, hiring a training director, summer early-release Fridays, $150 prescription safety glasses every other year for field employees, and an automatic monthly phone reimbursement.
Every year PROCON holds a core value awards ceremony during their celebration, honoring employees nominated and voted by their colleagues for exemplifying the company’s core values, whether consistently going above and beyond, leading with empathy, taking ownership, or inspiring others through collaboration and innovation.
