Food donated by Prima employees was piled high during Prima’s 2008 annual meeting. Prima matched all the donations, which were hand-delivered to the Kalamazoo Loaves and Fishes food bank by Prima’s CEO and CFO.

Quality of Life: Community, Wellness, Environmental Responsibility

We include a section on community on our website because it is a vital part of our company culture.

A cornerstone of Prima’s culture is quality of life—which, in addition to meaningful work, requires that we encourage our employees to have meaningful lives outside of work. Thus, it is important that we support the communities where we live and the organizations and events where we spend our time.

Community

Below is a list of some of the organizations in which our employees are involved; Prima also makes donations to employees’ favorite charities upon request.

Wellness

Another component of quality of life is wellness. Prima encourages healthy, active lifestyles through our virtual triathlon, where employees are encouraged to walk / run, bike, rollerblade, and swim. Each August, employees track their mileage via our website as we collectively take a virtual journey complete with real prizes and plenty of recognition. Other companies have contacted us about doing a similar program; email us if you’d like more information on this unique event for your organization!

Environmental Responsibility

Our strong sense of community and corporate culture is a result of Prima’s approach to business—we value not just profit, but also people and our earth. To positively impact the planet, we practice green initiatives such as:

  • Assisting clients in the fast-growing organics, recycling, and reclamation markets.
  • Working locally for geographically remote clients.
  • Recycling whenever possible.
  • Four-day workweeks and work-at-home options.
  • Charitable contributions.
