Putting People First

At the News & Record, we believe that our people are our greatest asset. Our goal is to create a culture where our people and our business can grow.

That means we empower employees to play a role in decision making and problem solving.

We also help our people balance their work life and personal life, including offering seminars ranging from buying your first home to caring for an elderly relative. We also have a day-care reimbursement program, as well as a snow-day child care program for elementary children.

Our employee assistance program offers six free confidential counseling sessions for all full-time employees.

We help our employees grow and develop professionally through goal setting, in-house training and challenging new opportunities. Our tuition reimbursement program helps full-timers and eligible part-timers continue their college education or pursue a graduate degree.

And we have fun, too, with periodic events on site for employees. Read below about how we are reaching out to employees' families through Take Your Kids to Work day and Unitown.

Take Your Kids to Work Day A "ton" of kids participated in the News & Record's first official "Take Your Kids to Work Day" on April 26 at the newspaper's Greensboro office. During a tour of the facility, the 20 kids stood together on a large scale in the production department and discovered that they weighed almost 2,000 pounds—about the size of a large roll of newsprint. Other activities included a newspaper scavenger hunt and classified "happy ad" creation. The event was sponsored by our Work-Life Team.

 

Unitown The News & Record has made a promise to the community and diversity by investing in its future leaders. In May of 2001, the News & Record demonstrated that commitment by sponsoring Unitown, a three-day leadership and human relations program for employees' high school-age children. Twenty-eight teens participated in the first News & Record Unitown experience. The News & Record sponsored 14 kids, and co-sponsor Kay Chemical Company also sponsored 14. The National Conference for Community and Justice coordinated the program.

Held at a camp in Blowing Rock, NC, Unitown brought together students of different backgrounds, ethnicities and economic statuses to learn the value of leadership and tolerance. Teens gained experience through activities such as discussion groups and role-plays. They also explored stereotypes, discrimination, race relations, gender roles and cultural awareness.
