The Impact

Not only has Plummer’s Paid Time Off policy had a tremendous impact on employee retention and culture, but they have seen a positive trend when it comes to overall employee satisfaction. This policy has allowed the organization to distinguish its competitive benefits and points to their deep-rooted corporate values. Commitment and compassion for their people including supporting family values. Commitment to achieving as much security for their people as practical. Commitment to high-quality service to their clients. Commitment to integrity.

“At Plummer, being a great place to work is literally part of our vision statement, and family-friendly policies are a big part of realizing that vision. For us, this means anticipating that our employees who are mothers and fathers will likely need additional support when they welcome a new child. This thoughtful approach has not only been the right thing to do, but ultimately has helped us retain incredible talent and attract other employees who know that we provide a supportive, family-friendly culture.”
