“ Our workforce has always been a monumental part of who we are as a company. We have employees who retire after 40 to 50 years, and I strongly believe this longevity stems from the organization staying true to the family culture and values we hold. The culture aspect plays a big part in our hiring process because we want people who fit with our five core values – integrity, commitment, teamwork, community and innovation.”
Community commitment
Dedication to its values means that corporate responsibility is also crucial to Clarkson.“ We always strive to give back to the communities we’ re a part of, not just financially, but by being present, involved, and invested,” says Billy.“ We schedule volunteer sessions where our employees can contribute their time and expertise, donating our time to building projects with organizations like the Veterans Community Project and Rebuilding Together KC. We also participate in the Big Brothers Big Sisters KC holiday program that involves adopting families over the Christmas period, where our team can purchase gifts requested by the adoptive family, such as food items, toys and new winter clothing. As we’ ve expanded into the St. Louis market, our team there has made it a priority to engage with community organizations, industry groups, and non-profits in that area, assuring our impact extends across the state. It makes a huge difference to people and it’ s extremely important to us.”
