Thank you for the positive comments that you did provide regarding our culture, office, and employees. Upward mobility can be a struggle in any small to mid-size company. We try to provide as much opportunity for our employees as possible. This includes coaching and development, as well as internal career advancement opportunities where appropriate. We are also very receptive to the needs of our employees and often work with them to find the best fit at our company for long-term success.
Overall, we have put a lot of energy into organizational health over the last few years. We have developed our executive leadership team and built internal clarity around our mission, vision, and core values. We also have an exceptional group of hard-working employees and a burgeoning middle management team. I am proud of our entire team and our accomplishments over the years in terms of customer satisfaction and retention and overall customer and revenue growth.
We are by no means a traditional publishing company. We are instead a technology solutions company in the digital content creation and distribution industry. We have superb, long-standing relationships with many commercial printers and publishers of content (magazines, journals, catalogs, circulars, and documents). I believe our success is centered around our core values, including our desire to maintain honest and transparent relationships with our partners, customers, and employees.
People are people and no work environment is perfect. We try to create a rewarding employment opportunity by ensuring that we provide at a minimum fair pay, great culture, and great benefits. Although the minimum wage in Florida is $8.05, no one at our company makes less than $11.00 per hour. If we see employee behavior issues or concerns, we will take reasonable action to address them and provide a good work environment. We do not tolerate any type of harassment in our office, especially sexual harassment. To the extent there were “interpersonal relationship” issues amongst our employees in the past, I believe they have either been addressed long ago or no longer exist. We have built a professional work environment with a solid culture (as you acknowledge in your post), where happiness and family play an important role.
