And just like that, 2022 is coming to an end. This year flew by! Before we welcome a new year, we find great importance in recognizing all that we have to be thankful for, especially with Thanksgiving being just a few short days away.

We asked our customers in The Network what they are more thankful for this year and we had over 120 customers share a response! As we read through the submissions, we were moved by stories of health, community and loved ones. To kick off the holiday season, we want to share some of the responses with you!

“Thankful to be working for a great company that cares about their employees.”

–Kyle S., Robertson Construction Services

“I'm thankful to work for a company that focuses on giving back. BCS provides monthly volunteer opportunities, and pays the employee their regular salary if the activity is during the work day. BCS started the Twelve Days of Christmas a couple of years ago; a 12 day volunteer drive. As a company we donated money, items and time to several charities. It went so well, we started 24 Days of Christmas to expand the number of charities we could provide for.”

–Tracy R., Building Controls and Services, Inc.

“This year I am thankful for my health and the opportunity to run a 26.2 mile marathon!”

–Amy P., O.C. McDonald Co. Inc.

“I am thankful for GBI's commitment to their employees, allowing flexibility for me to work as well as be a mom to my kids. Having that freedom allows me to put more effort into my job, which I love and am so grateful to have.”
