“By closing the office for the week, we are communicating key company priorities – that taking real time off to focus on personal and family life is important. Call it work-life rhythm or prioritization.
We’ve had an unlimited PTO policy, but we’re taking that a step further to say there’s a minimum of one week of vacation that every employee at GreenSpark has to take.
The winter is hard in Western NY, and the temptation to just put your head down and work through it is real. Closing the company for a week is a chance for a refresh, an opportunity for all of us to make space for our individual and family well-being.”
George McConochie, Founder/COO
“Wellness Week reflects GreenSpark’s dedication to our People’s health. It is GreenSpark’s intention to care for our employees’ financial, physical, mental, and spiritual health. Happy, rested employees perform better while on the job.
It is an opportune time from a business perspective. We are a construction business in Western NY, and while no less busy, we are less productive due to the outside conditions. Offering this time now is a good business decision to bring our people back healthy and rested to complete the winter grind and be energized heading into spring.”
Kevin Schulte, Founder/CEO
