over to the United Way, which allows everyone
to direct their contribution. “We try to sign ev-
erybody up to a charitable deduction program.
If they sign up they get Jeans Fridays and we
have almost 100-percent involvement in that
program,” he said.
Eagle puts a great deal of emphasis on employ-
ee satisfaction and part of that means creating
an inviting, supportive workplace. Monthly and
annual programs recognize the efforts of indi-
viduals, and diversity lunches allow the staff to
get to know each other a little better by en-
couraging everyone to join in a potluck lunch
with foods highlighting each other’s ethnicity.
Special days off give employees an opportuni-
ty to celebrate a cultural event, a birthday, or
even donate time to charity. Their employee
breakfast program keeps the kitchen stocked
with foods like fruit, muffins and bagels.
