The Kendal Corporation recognizes the importance of social responsibility, being a responsible member of the larger community, and making a difference in people’s lives beyond Kendal’s walls. The Kendal Corporation also recognizes the importance of providing a meaningful workplace through opportunities for employees to engage in something larger than oneself to have a positive impact in society.
The KCorp KendalCares Social Impact work group has discussed the relevant Kendal values, identified goals, and developed strategies by which we can put those values in to action and achieve those goals. We’ve also developed a points, incentives, and recognition program called Points and Perks to encourage and acknowledge community benefit activities (details below).
