Real People. Real Stories.

It has made a big change in how we care for our employees. The employees have embraced the Caring Team and now they even take the initiative to care for one another without always involving the Caring Team.

It has helped us bring our passion for ministry to a much broader audience at the company, to get our leadership team and our team members directly involved in making it happen.

We had an employee who tragically lost her daughter in a car accident in February. She was only 21 years old. We had just kicked off our Caring Team and they immediately jumped into action. We had so many efforts to raise money to help pay for expenses, be with the family at the funeral, to bring food and just love on her in a way that certainly I could not have done even with my best efforts alone because we had this whole team of people in all these different departments that were trying to accomplish a common goal. That’s just one example of a recent event.

Once we actually started the roll out (of our Caring Teams), the word of mouth from one mill to the next made the introduction of our Foundation and our Caring Teams very simple.

You come to realize that you can’t do it all yourself… It occurred to me when I was first talking to Chris Patton (CEO of His Way At Work) and I started discovering what His Way At Work is doing, I realized there was a better way of caring for people.
