Annual Employee Reviews: Investing in Growth and Success

It's that time of year again — Annual Employee Reviews are underway! These reviews are more than just a yearly formality; they're an important opportunity for reflection, growth, and connection between team members and leadership.

Why They Matter: Employee reviews help us celebrate achievements, identify development opportunities, and align individual goals with our company's mission and future direction. They also provide space for open dialogue — giving employees a voice to share feedback, career aspirations, and ideas for improving how we work together.

At Gardner, Inc, we believe that growth happens when communication is clear and feedback is constructive. Through these reviews, we aim to recognize your hard work, strengthen our culture of accountability, and ensure every team member has the tools and support needed to thrive.

Thank you for your continued dedication to excellence. Your contributions make our success possible — and your growth helps shape the future of our organization.

D365 Go Live Success - West Coast

The final chapter of our westward expansion of D365 is drawing near. Members of the Salem team have traveled across the country to Columbus and experienced the new system in its full glory and have made the journey back home to share what they've learned. Collectively we've traversed (data) streams, foraged for morsels of information, and traded paper and pencil for scan guns capable of hitting the most ambitious of targets.

The coming weeks will be spent training, testing, and fine tuning the last details needed to go-live on 12/1/2025. There has been a tremendous amount of effort by all team members to evaluate legacy processes and procedures and ensure that translates to the new system environment so we can continue to service the business successfully.

There is still more work to do, but we are excited that by the end of this year we will officially be operating as One Gardner on One System and be able to leverage all the knowledge, information, and support we have across the entire organization to reach new heights together!

To everyone involved — thank you for your dedication, teamwork, and commitment. This go live marks a major milestone, and it couldn't have happened without you!
