THE INSIDE STORY
|
Progressive Promotions
recognizes and rewards employee accomplish-
ments with frequent, positive feedback in person
and by email, spot bonuses, company lunches
and pizza parties, summer barbeques, Friday
afternoon ice cream parties and car wash vouch-
ers, to name a few. President Julie Levi also holds
a monthly company meeting where she applauds
recent successes and gives out $25 gift cards to
those who exude the core values through excep-
tional actions. In addition, supervisors consider
CEU points earned for education courses as part of
employee reviews and evaluations. The company
also uses a suggestion box to solicit ideas to make
it a better workplace. Recent examples include
the installation of vending machines, incorporat-
ing different workspace layouts, and even cosmetic
changes to the office, all of which came directly
from the employee suggestion box. This year,
Progressive Promotions has taken listening to its
employees to a new level with its PPI with a
Purpose program that allows the company to par-
ticipate in activities that give back to their sur-
rounding community all the while working
together as a team and having fun. In addition to
participating in the fundraising efforts for the
Promotional Products Education Foundation, PPI
is also participating in walks and runs that have
special meaning to the staff. It is apparent that
everyone supports one another on a number of
levels, making it a tightly knit family.
Across
Progressive Promotions welcomes new
hires into the fold immediately, ensuring they feel
at home and free to be as creative and innovative
as they can. Successes and the team’s hard work
are honored with monthly congratulatory meet-
ings and frequent company gatherings.
