Our People Care: Celebrating POWER’s Spot on the 2025 PEOPLE Companies That Care List

Culture Our People Care: Celebrating POWER’s Spot on the 2025 PEOPLE Companies That Care List

POWER is honored to be recognized on the 2025 PEOPLE Companies That Care list, a reflection of the collaborative work we’ve done as a team to make a difference for our employees, the communities we serve, and the planet. 

If you ask us why we earned this honor, the answer is simple: it’s because of our people. Our people are the ones who make POWER not just a good business, but a great one. They live out our core value of Care every day by showing up for one another, our customers, and for the communities we serve. 

Showing Up in Times of Crisis

At POWER, we show up when our people need it most.

While we hope POWER employees are positioned for success in all facets of life, there will naturally be times when they face challenging situations beyond their control. In true POWER fashion with our people as our North Star, we knew we needed to figure out a way where the company can play a role in helping an employee land back on their feet. Because when the going gets tough, POWER shows up.

Which led us to create Power Aid — an Employee Relief and Assistance Fund now that assists employees coping with unexpected hardships or who need financial assistance to recover more quickly from a specific life event. Medical expenses, funeral costs, unexpected financial hardships, expenses due to military deployment, or disaster relief can be covered through this benefit. This allows us to support employees more directly when it matters most. 

Supporting our POWER Parents

The well-being of our employees and their families is our top priority. That’s why we’re continuously evolving our parental benefit offerings to better support them.

At POWER, we believe that our employees shouldn’t have to choose between work and starting a family. That’s why we offer suite of parental benefits so they don’t ever have to make that decision.

Subsidized childcare, parental leave, a maternity management program, infertility coverage, adoption and suororgacy assistance, and bereavement time for miscarriages are available to our POWER parents and parents-to-be.

Using Our Power for Good

During POWER’s 2025 DEI Summit, over 450 employees volunteered to give back to Nashville public schools in need.

POWER is a service organization — not only due to the services we offer, but because the deepest part of a POWER person’s DNA is about serving others — without being asked and certainly without being told.

POWER for Good is a set of initiatives that place POWER people at the center of philanthropy, giving employees a voice and choice in where the entirety of our philanthropic funding goes to impact causes they care about, which was highlighted on this year’s PEOPLE Companies That Care list. From participating in giving circles to nominating nonprofits to voting on where to allocate funds, each POWER person can choose how they want to get involved.

In 2024 alone, we proudly supported over 1,100 nonprofits and schools, donating over $3.7 million, and we’re on pace to exceed this impact in 2025.

We also used our power for good to organize one of our largest employee volunteer projects to date. During our DEI Summit in Nashville, more than 450 employees volunteered their time for beautification projects of three local public schools. Teaming up with United Way of Greater Nashville, who helped connect POWER to schools who face significant socioeconomic and academic challenges, the teams were able to enhance spaces to improve student learning and success.

As we reflect on and celebrate the work we accomplished in the past year, we are inspired by the possibilities to do even more.
