Thank you for providing these insights. We’re thrilled about the positive experiences that you’ve shared with us during your career journey so far. It is our desire to give employees the opportunity for growth and development in ways that are mutually beneficial to the individual and company. We also do our best to foster a culture that is welcoming for a wide range of demographics, in hopes of avoiding any sort of negative bias. We are fortunate to offer a flexible work schedule to employees that allows for both in office and remote settings. As we review and uphold telework policies, numerous factors are taken into considerations to support equitable practices, albeit concessions may be permitted for unique scenarios.
Everyone at the branches is involved in helping us succeed. The training program is well organized with the intention to provide us a solid understanding of the business. I recently participated in the annual sales meeting and got to experience, first hand, how successful I can be as a leader in this organization. I am grateful for my time at NB Handy and can't wait to get through the training phase to be placed in a position to launch my career in sales.

This is more of a suggestion. I suggest we get all future leaders current and previous (already placed in a leadership position) together once per year. This would allow the new future leaders to understand how those already placed in a sales position have succeeded and what advice they have for us. No cons.

We so appreciate that you have taken the time here to publicly praise the NB Handy Future Leaders (FL) Program. Because of FL incumbents like you, our leadership development team is enthusiastically garnering all the skills necessary to step into a role that mutually benefits everyone: team members, customers and suppliers. We are all committed to helping you carry forward our 133-year legacy!
We are glad you found being among your more seasoned peers at the annual Sales Event inspiring. We are excited to see your career launch with your first official position placement at the conclusion of your program, and all you will accomplish in your bright future. You may not be aware but we do plan an annual event for all current Future Leaders to attend, which is typically held in July. We appreciate your suggestion to also include previous Future Leaders to this event and will certainly pass that information along to be considered.
Thank you for making NB Handy your preferred choice as a recent college graduate. You will do great things!
