How can a workplace feel like an extension of your family? When they show up with casseroles! SUWS of the Carolinas prides itself on the sense of community they foster among team members. SUWS wants it to be noticed by families and visitors. It's regularly cited as a reason for job satisfaction. It's definitely a core value. So when a team member is expecting a baby, they celebrate. When someone suffers a loss, SUWS mourns together. And when someone spends 5, 10, or 15 years in the company, they celebrate it.
Within the past month, SUWS welcomed a new baby, Lucinda Vines. Her proud parents met here at SUWS and dad is Mike Vines, the Alumni Coordinator. Melissa Villodas, a SUWS clinician, is expecting her first baby within the month. SUWS of the Carolinas threw her a potluck baby shower and presented her with a custom made SUWS onesie that ushered in a round of "ahhhhhhh's." The admissions team has been steady parts of the family for over a decade; Josh Gunalda, Admissions Director, celebrated 15 years with the company and Akela Bryson, Admissions Coordinator, celebrated 10 years.
Needless to say, SUWS is proud of their ever-expanding family and will continue to support each other during the up's and down's of life. Whether it's a ride to work, a meal delivered at home, or some shared laughs, the SUWS family keeps doing what they do best - supporting families.
