It has been a time of transition since taking over running the company after Tom's unexpected death.  We couldn't have made it through this transition without such an amazing workforce. I am truly honored to be in a position to lead such an innovative, committed and caring group of people.  ### Innovating hiring practices and encouraging teamwork Last year, Tom Janek's legacy was honored when PFI was named as a semi-finalist for the Goering Center's Private and Family Business Award . He was fervently committed to the development of his team. Tom believed that by investing in each employee, the company and customers would see the employee's investment back through increased quality and commitment. ### University of Cincinnati's Goering Center for Family & Private Business According to the [University of Cincinnati’s Goering Center for Family & Private Business](https://business.uc.edu/academics/centers/goering.html), family and privately-owned businesses account for more than half of US employment, half of new job creation and generate over $8 trillion of gross domestic product each year. We are proud to have contributed to those numbers.    A little about the award. Each year the Goering Center rates privately-owned and family businesses to identify companies that are excelling in the following areas: 1. Family Business Charter 2. Dynamic Business Strategy 3. Performance Management System 4. Leadership Development 5. Outside Boards 6. Contingency Planning 7. Owner's Retirement Plans 8. Business Growth 9. Family Council 10. Giving Back We were nominated by our partners at TechSolve for having innovative hiring and employment practices and an environment that nurtures teamwork. ### Thank You!
