which is to provide safe , productive , quality service at every level .
“ And finally , we have our values , which are centered around faith , fitness , family , and finance . Our industry has a bad rap for treating employees like disposable individuals , and we are on a mission to shift that perspective . This comes down to encouraging what it means to earn a living , supporting those around you and taking accountability for the impact we leave on the world .”
In addition to establishing a business based on more than labor availability , Mark expresses the company ’ s commitment to community , as well as providing a solution to the overall labor shortage crisis . “ Through our Jane ’ s Saving Grace non-profit organization , we ’ re looking at offering those who have come from tough backgrounds or difficult circumstances to upskill with training in carpentry or electrician work and then offer them working experiences to get them on their feet .”
With these measures in place , the future of QLM is looking exceptional . In addition to increasing the company ’ s size , Mark ’ s ambition is for the organization to be large enough to contribute one million dollars towards the training , housing , and education of the workforce . “ I ’ d love for customers and team members alike to know that if they ’ re working for QLM , they ’ re working with an awesome greater cause . At the end of the day , we want people to see that we ’ re a company with a big heart , and we want to change the world . The way we do that is by changing lives , one employee at a time ,” he concludes . ■
