What Happened to the Family in Parking?

As business’ grow and corporations take over the Mom and Pop Organizations, where are the companies that used to promote themselves as a family? In the parking and transportation industry we seem to have lost the family feel in the last few years. As companies are expanding, and bottom lines are scrutinized more than ever, what are you doing to ensure your employees are happy? What are you doing to support your employee’s growth and expansion? With major parking and transportation companies growing and expanding the amount of employees they have, how is it possible to treat your team as you once used to? I feel this is an ever growing topic that is harder than ever to compare how it once was. As inflation has hit and the price of items have changed, things are no longer appreciated the same way they used to. A $5 Starbucks gift card only goes so far and often a pizza party is under appreciated. What solution do you see in the future to bring back the family in corporations without breaking the bank or budget? How can we appreciate our employees in a way that personally and economically effects them? Tate Misiaszek, CAPP is a Project Manager for LAZ Parking.
