Wilber Loyalty

Friday Jul 15, 2011

Wilber is proud to be able to say that we have a low turn-over rate in a high turn-over industry. We currently have 21 employees who have been with the company for 5 years or more. We have 6 more who will reach 5 years throughout 2011. That is approximately 45% of our staff! Here are what a few employees had to say about Wilber loyalty!

Q: What has kept you at Wilber for so long?
A: Two words—Ken Wilber!!!  He is very family oriented and as a single working mother it puts my mind at ease knowing Ken believes family comes first. He allows me to work from home so I can be available for my daughter if needed, and so that I can save A LOT on gas $ since I don’t live in Bloomington. Ken’s giving nature and his service to the community is inspiring.  He will not hesitate to help those in need and I am proud to work for a man with such integrity. (L. Murillo, Legal Dept.)
A: I have been with Wilber for 6 years this coming May 2011. Since starting here I have always been treated as though I’d been here for years. People here are helpful, encouraging, and friendly. You’re like a sibling as opposed to an ordinary employee at Wilber & Associates. From the CEO all the way down the attitude is everyone comes first and no one will be left behind. (G. James, Production Support)
A: The great opportunity to work from home and be with my kids. Even when I worked in the office it was like working with a family where everyone got along and honestly I cannot wait to go back! Ken & Mike truly care about all of us and would be there for any of us if we needed them. I was 20 years old when I started and I don’t think there are too many people that can say they have been with a company since they were 20, 9 years later!  (L. Kuhnke, Support Dept.)
A: This is my second home and family! I enjoy what I do very much and I can't imagine doing anything else. Not only do I appreciate Wilber, I feel appreciated for what I contribute to the company. (D. Ratliff, Audit Manager)
A: I’ve been in collections for over 10 years, our industry has a high turnover due to the stress of the job causing a quick burnout.  The difference between Wilber and any other employer I have worked for is that you are a person not an agent or just an employee.  Everyone from the CEO to the janitor knows you by name and truly cares about you and your family.  Everything from the way we celebrate birthdays to the way we come together to help out a co-worker in need, Wilber does it their way not the corporate way.  It will be five years for me this coming November and my thoughts are to keep doing it the Wilber way for another twenty five years.  (N. Roman, Production Dept.)
