Perhaps one of the best illustrations of our connection to our community is through our employees. Many of them apply the same community-minded spirit that drives them to provide the best possible service for our members to make positive contributions to their community through volunteer efforts outside of work. Last year, to celebrate and support our employees’ volunteer efforts, GLE initiated a program called “The Energy of Giving.” The program encourages employees to track and report their volunteer hours and offers a forum for employees to share volunteer opportunities in their communities.
From Aug. 1 to June 25, our employees have submitted 2,770 volunteer hours through the Energy of Giving Program.
Knowing our often humble co-workers, we suspect the number of hours employees volunteer is probably much higher.
The Energy of Giving program has reinforced something we’ve known for a long time: GLE has some of the best employees. We’re proud to work with people who prioritize positively impacting the community, both on and off the job.
