Goodwill Exchange Employee Newsletter Fall 2024

Page 1


President’s Message

When I was named president and CEO of Goodwill of Central & Southern Indiana in 2015, one of my top priorities was employee well-being. With employees now a key focus of the One Goodwill Strategic Plan, I want to explain how Goodwill can support you in both your personal and professional lives but also what differentiates us as an employer.

First, Goodwill is a local not-for-profit, so our success isn’t measured by shareholder value or profits; it’s measured by the outcomes of our mission to empower people to change their lives by increasing their independence and reaching their potential. As a Goodwill employee, you’re not just a contributor to the mission you’re also a beneficiary of the mission.

Goodwill’s holistic approach to support and the wraparound services we provide are another significant differentiator. All of Goodwill’s donations come from the surrounding community, and the proceeds from the sale of those donations are reinvested into Goodwill’s mission programming and services, including a comprehensive benefits package (see Total Rewards sidebar), stabilization services, wraparound services, and professional development for Goodwill employees.

Stabilization services include helping Goodwill employees with basic needs, like housing, transportation, and food insecurity. Goodwill Mission Coaches, who you will read more about on page 7, can assist you with these immediate needs.

Your Mission Coach can also help you figure out what’s next. Whether that’s earning a job certification or credential, returning to school, or seeking a job promotion, there are resources available to help you apply as well as pay for any associated costs. Read on to learn more about the professional development opportunities available to you through Goodwill.

Our staff are an extension of our mission and the embodiment of one of our key organizational values to demonstrate respect for the dignity, worth and uniqueness of all people. Goodwill strives to provide an optimal environment and workplace, where you feel appreciated, supported, and empowered to do your best work. Raise your hand, and let us know how we can help.

I strongly encourage you to read this newsletter to see which Goodwill support services make the most sense for you. Thanks for all you do!

Goodwill Equity Statement

Goodwill believes that our strength lies in the diversity among the broad range of people we employ, educate and serve. We pledge to be informed and to create an equitable culture and workplace that will support the changes we want to see in our community. Our responsibility is to act with a commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, and we expect the same from our partners, vendors and communities. These actions will create an environment where everyone, from any background, can do their best work.

Goodwill Nurse-Family Partnership has served more than 8,000 families since 2011.

Your Work is Changing Lives

When you work at Goodwill, you’re supporting Hoosiers in our community, like Michaelae Cotton, a graduate of Goodwill Nurse-Family Partnership®, a maternal-child health care program that pairs first-time, low-income parents with a registered nurse who makes regular home visits from pregnancy through the child’s second birthday.

“When I was first diagnosed with unspecified psychosis, I didn’t want to believe it,” Michaelae said. “Many times… those with this diagnosis are described as ‘crazy.’ I was embarrassed and felt ashamed. It wasn’t until I found safe spaces that I began to embark on a journey of victory. My nurse came into my life at the perfect time.”

When Michaelae enrolled in Goodwill Nurse-Family Partnership in 2021, she was 25 weeks pregnant, forcing her to leave her job and school and move back in with her parents. These added stressors exacerbated her mental health struggles at one point requiring inpatient care.

“I found safety within the presence of my nurse she aided me in coming back to reality,” Michaelae said.

Nurse home visitors ensure children are achieving expected milestones and provide support on a range of issues, including breastfeeding, health care, quality child care, education, employment and much more.

“Not only did my nurse assist me in staying motivated, but she also connected me with resources to help me elevate to a level I never knew I could reach,” Michaelae said.

Despite the challenges she faced, Michaelae re-enrolled in school and completed her bachelor’s degree in criminal justice. Now she lives independently with her daughter, Ya’Leah, and has a job she loves with Indy Peace Fellowship. She was also recently accepted into Martin University’s graduate program in community psychology, where she will pursue a Master of Science degree.

“Goodwill Nurse-Family Partnership gave me guidance when becoming a mother and set me up to succeed,” Michaelae said. “With every appointment, I left feeling more equipped and ready to take on the journey of motherhood. It truly changed my life.”

Winchester Rebuilds After Tornado

On the evening of March 14, 2024, Goodwill’s employees and neighbors in Winchester faced a frightening ordeal as severe storms swept through the community, leaving devastation in their wake. The Goodwill Store located in Winchester, which had just opened in August of 2023, sustained major damage and had to be temporarily closed.

Understanding the importance of our services and the role we play in the community, Goodwill committed to rebuilding the store and supporting our displaced employees.

First, all employees received a care package immediately following the storm, which included groceries, a gas card and hygiene supplies. Employees also received a week off from work following the storm with pay and offered continuous employment with Goodwill at another store. Twelve employees accepted the offer and currently receive reimbursement for the extra miles they incur as a result of their temporary relocations.

Several Goodwills across North America made financial gifts to help support our dislocated employees, all of whom received a direct financial gift from these donations. In addition, Goodwill Mission Coaches assisted two employees who sustained damage to their personal homes.

Following the storm, the store was quickly secured and cleaned up, and Goodwill was able to recover a large portion of the items that were donated by the community. We are also taking this opportunity to make several improvements to the store, including updating the overall look, and it is on track to reopen by the end of 2024.

We are proud to be a vital part of the Winchester community and look forward to our grand re-opening!

Goodwill to Host 2025 Delegate Assembly

We are excited to announce that Goodwill of Central & Southern Indiana will host the Goodwill Industries International Delegate Assembly in 2025! More than 600 guests are expected to attend, including executives from across Goodwill’s network and members of Goodwill Industries International’s board of directors. Attendees will come together to learn from one another, share ideas, challenge thinking and celebrate achievements from across the Goodwill network. This also gives us an opportunity to share all of the wonderful work happening in central and southern Indiana. Let’s show our guests How Good is Made!

Your Future Matters

From Retail Associate to Director of The Excel Center

One of the great benefits about working at Goodwill is the variety of career opportunities available to you. Goodwill has roles in retail, manufacturing, health, education, and mission, as well as support department roles in information technology, human resources, marketing, accounting and more. It’s not uncommon for employees to transition from one division of Goodwill to another, like Johnny Manson did.

When Johnny joined Goodwill in October 2016, as a part-time donation attendant, he had been struggling to secure employment due to past legal issues and a lifelong history of depression.

“Having a job I enjoy that provides me with the mental health services I need has played a critical role in overcoming these challenges,” Johnny said.

He was immediately recognized for his hard work, quickly moving through the ranks, and in just over two years, he was promoted to Site Leader at one of Goodwill’s retail outlets. His income tripled over that period.

Johnny also took advantage of the services of a Goodwill Mission Coach — full-time career and life coaches who work with Goodwill’s employees, students and other program participants to help them set goals and take steps to achieve them.

In addition to advancing in his career, Johnny wanted to go back to school and purchase a car and a home. He worked with his Mission Coach to apply for Goodwill’s Education Support Program, which helped cover the tuition for his bachelor’s degree in business administration.

He then enrolled in a graduate program where he worked toward a master’s degree in organizational leadership and graduated in May 2021. He is currently pursuing a Doctorate in Business Administration, which he expects to finish in late 2024. Johnny’s Mission Coach also advised him on how to improve his credit score, which increased by more than 130 points, along with his net worth, allowing him to meet his goal of purchasing a car and a home.

After several years in retail, Johnny decided that he wanted to transition into a mission-based role that would allow him to more directly serve those enrolled in Goodwill’s programs. In 2021, he became a Life Coach at The Excel Center — a similar role as a Mission Coach but with a focus on adult students. In 2023, he was promoted to Director of the new Excel Center location in southeast Indianapolis.

Johnny’s unique path illustrates how the people Goodwill serves are often motivated to serve others, many of whom face the same barriers, creating foundational relationships and stronger communities.

“Goodwill has helped me accomplish goals in education and employment and has had a profound impact in changing my life,” Johnny said.

Get Help From a Mission Coach

Goodwill Mission Coaches are a free resource available to all employees. These experts help you identify resources to overcome personal and professional challenges and can assist you with a range of issues. First, Mission Coaches ensure your basic needs are met, like housing, food, child care, health care and more. Next they move on to advanced supports, like helping you further your education or earn a job credential and providing financial literacy training and credit counseling.

Mission Coaches can connect you with a range of services available through Goodwill, including The Excel Center®, Goodwill’s high school for adults, and Goodwill’s Nurse-Family Partnership® for first-time, low-income moms, as well as TalentSource™, Goodwill’s in-house job placement team, which can help you advance in your career whether that’s with Goodwill or an external employer. If the support you need is outside of Goodwill for example, you’re interested in buying a home Mission Coaches will connect you with those resources through our community partners, like the Indianapolis Neighborhood Housing Partnership.

If you’re interested in consulting with a Mission Coach, check the flyer in your break room for the next date and time that they’ll be at your site, and schedule some time to discuss your goals with them.

Your Future Matters

Get Your High School Diploma

There are nearly half-a-million Hoosiers who lack a high school diploma, which significantly limits their earning potential and job prospects, but did you know that Goodwill of Central & Southern Indiana operates 19 high schools? The Excel Center serves adults in 18 locations throughout central and southern Indiana, and Indianapolis Metropolitan High School, for traditional-age students, is located near downtown Indianapolis.

Our schools offer students an opportunity to earn a high school diploma in a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment. What differentiates Goodwill’s high schools is the focus on removing barriers that may impede an individual’s ability to complete their education.

In addition to free onsite child care and transportation assistance, which is offered to all of our students, The Excel Center offers expedited curriculum and flexible scheduling to ensure adult learners with jobs and other responsibilities outside of the classroom can attend school and finish quickly.

All students also have access to a life coach and college and career readiness specialists who help them map out their next steps post-graduation — whether that’s applying to college or preparing for a career. To date, more than 9,000 Hoosiers have graduated from one of Goodwill’s high schools.

If you or someone you know is interested in earning their high school diploma, visit excelcenter.org (for adults) or indianapolismet.org (for traditional-age students) to learn more and enroll.

Additional Education Support

Goodwill offers an Education Support Program designed to encourage ongoing learning and development by helping employees further their education to achieve personal and organizational goals. In addition to tuition reimbursement and tuition assistance, which each cover up to $5,250 of costs per calendar year, Goodwill’s partnerships with local academic institutions, like Ivy Tech Community College, Purdue Global University, Indiana University Indianapolis, and Marian College, allow Goodwill employees to receive their college degree at no cost or deeply reduced rates. Education support includes individual courses, credentials, certifications, and college degrees from the associate to master level.

To learn more, talk to your supervisor or consult with your site’s Mission Coach.

Do you know someone who is looking to join a great team, or are you interested in pursuing a new position at Goodwill? Make sure to check out our careers page for open positions at goodwillindy.org/careers!

Invest In Your Future

One of the best investments you can make in yourself is through Goodwill’s retirement plan, which allows eligible employees to contribute a predetermined amount of their pre-tax and/or post-tax income into their own 403(b) plan. In addition to the gains you may earn on your own contributions, Goodwill will match you up to 6% of your pay.* For example, if you earn $750 per pay period and contribute 6% to your retirement account ($45), then Goodwill will match your contribution and also contribute $45. Over the course of a year, you will contribute $1,170, but with Goodwill’s match, you will have a potential $2,340 in your account, plus any gains earned from your investment.

This is FREE MONEY — don’t leave it on the table.

*Please note: match available to eligible employees only.

Get Free Financial Advice

Elements Financial is the credit union partner of Goodwill, and their goal is to provide financial wellness benefits to Goodwill employees and their families, including one-on-one credit reviews, assistance with a loan application, creating a budget, managing debt, planning for future financial goals, and much more! Attend one of the following workshops (both online and in person options are available) to learn more:

Healthcare and Your Money | Tuesday, October 22, 12-1 p.m.

Understanding Your Credit | Thursday, October 31, 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.

Visit elements.org/goodwill/events/ to sign up for a workshop.

Access Legal Expungement Aid

Among the challenges that members of the Goodwill family face, a criminal background is among the most debilitating. A criminal charge, conviction, or even an arrest can create huge obstacles in an individual’s road to self-sufficiency. It inhibits eligibility for many types of government assistance and severely restricts access to housing, education and employment opportunities. A single matter in one’s life often serves as a lifelong barrier towards reaching their full potential.

The Legal Expungement Aid Project (LEAP) addresses this issue by offering free legal service and expungement assistance to anyone who utilizes Goodwill services, including current employees. The mission of LEAP is to offer individuals in the Goodwill family, through a partnership with Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law, free legal services regarding the Indiana Expungement Law (IN Code 35-38-9). Through this partnership, 73 participants have had their criminal history expunged.

Goodwill Launches New Manager Orientation

To ensure all Goodwill leaders are prepared and equipped with the tools and resources necessary to lead their teams confidently and effectively, the Goodwill Learning and Development team is pleased to announce the recent launch of New Manager Essentials orientation! This training is available to all new leaders and provides an overview of resources available to help build and support your team.

Session topics include: New Manager Building and Supporting Your Team, Balancing Head and Heart Refresher, Strategic Plan and Pay Philosophy, Recruiting, Accounting, Payroll, Employee Relations, Benefits, Risk Management, Mental Health, Learning and Development and Offboarding. Here’s what graduates of the training are saying:

“ This training has vital information that people need to know as a leader. ”

“ It was comprehensive and very informational. ”

“ This taught me a lot of information that I needed to be an effective leader to my team. ”

Introducing Workday Time & Attendance and Workday Help

The Payroll and Human Resources teams are pleased to announce that employee time and attendance as well as most help ticketing will now be managed through Workday. Launched last month, the new integration eliminated Workforce from Goodwill’s suite of applications and streamlined all time entry through Workday.

In addition, all help tickets — with the exception of loss prevention and safety — were transitioned from ThinkLP to Workday. You will now use Workday when you need help with things like employee relations, benefits and wellness, hiring, payroll, wraparound services and more. Loss prevention and safety will continue to be reported through ThinkLP until January 2025.

Please contact payroll@goodwillindy.org for questions about Workday Time and Attendance or workday@goodwillindy.org for questions about Workday Help.

Meet Sarah Ash: Mental Health Strategist at Goodwill

As part of our One Goodwill Strategic Plan, Goodwill of Central & Southern Indiana developed a number of initiatives aimed at improving the mental health support provided to the people we employ, educate and serve. One of these initiatives included hiring a Mental Health Strategist, an entirely new role created to support the organization as we sought to create a culture that removes the stigma surrounding mental health. Learn more about Sarah Ash, Goodwill’s Mental Health Strategist, and how she envisions making an impact in her role.

Describe your current role at Goodwill.

I’m currently focused on forming relationships across the organization to understand the unique challenges different areas face and partnering with them to develop ways to address those challenges. It has been exciting to think through the nuanced support we can implement in such a broad and diverse organization.

What are some of the challenges employers are grappling with in terms of mental health in the workplace?

Even if we can all agree on what mental health is, what we each need as individuals to achieve it can be vastly different. For employers, this can be a really challenging reality to navigate because it means that each employee needs something unique. So attempting to build something that is both equitable and adaptable is very difficult, but important work.

How is Goodwill responding to these challenges?

Some of the responses I’ve seen are increasing communication to understand our employees, making strides to reduce mental health stigma, investing in benefits that empower individuals to access the care they might need and increasing the presence of or access to mental health professionals in the work environment.

In five years, how do you envision the culture at Goodwill shifting to support mental health?

My hope is that mental health continues to be integrated in the experience of Goodwill as it is cemented into a defining part of our culture. For those we employ, educate and serve, this could mean they are empowered, from day one, to consider their mental or emotional needs as a necessary component of the potential we strive to help them reach and not just a side-effect of having reached that potential. I hope that we all feel confident in our ability to navigate mental health challenges that arise and encourage appropriate use of the resources Goodwill provides. Finally, that those resources are both flexible and comprehensive enough to make a lasting impact on an individual’s overall well-being. It’s a big vision but one I feel wholly confident is possible!

Congratulations

to Goodwill President and CEO Kent Kramer, who was recently honored with the Goodwill Industries International Kenneth K. King Award for Outstanding Executive Management! Kent was also recognized in Indianapolis Business Journal’s 250 Influential Leaders list for the THIRD year in a row.

Congratulations John Thompson!

Goodwill Industries Achiever of the Year

Born with autism spectrum disorder, John Thompson did not begin speaking until he was eight years old. He was homeschooled and had no prior experience with public school before enrolling at The Excel Center® in Shelbyville, Goodwill’s tuition-free high school for adults. As a result, he lacked experience socializing in an academic setting and worried that his peers might not accept him.

“I was nervous, but since my first day, I loved it,” Thompson said. “Going to The Excel Center was a stepping stone for my success in entering the working world.”

He worked tirelessly – never missing a day of school – while winning the hearts of staff and peers alike. In 2021, he received his Indiana Core 40 high school diploma, graduating

with honors, and a Certified Business Professional credential from The Excel Center, allowing him to achieve meaningful employment at the Goodwill retail store in Shelbyville.

In addition to his academic and professional success, Thompson is a gifted singer and pianist, delighting the crowd with his performance at Goodwill UNBOXED in 2022. He was even named the Shelby Idol in 2010.

As a result of his accomplishments, Thompson was recently honored with Goodwill Industries International’s Achiever of the Year award, which recognizes a person who has shown great progress in overcoming challenges to finding employment and still benefits from the Goodwill work environment.

Congratulations to Katherine Finch, eCommerce Valuation Associate, for receiving her Gemologist Certification!

Shout-out to Sara Knott, Retail Site Leader, and her team at the South Meridian store, on achieving year-to-date growth in in-store revenue of 17% and eCommerce revenue of 53%.

Congratulations to KENT A. KRAMER

President & CEO

Goodwill of Central & Southern Indiana

250 Most Infl uential Business Leaders in Indiana

How good is made.

Shout-out to Shawn Lange, Vice President of Manufacturing Operations, Lisa Allen, Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer, and Shawn Wolfgram, Senior Director of AbilityOne and Contracts, who recently traveled to Washington, D.C., to lobby members of congress and advocate for their support of an increase to the SSI Asset Limit, which caps the assets that a person with disabilities can own to $2,000. This arbitrary limit places an unnecessary burden on persons with disabilities by making it impossible for them to plan for their future.

Congratulations to Corey Emery, Senior Director of Goodwill Education Initiatives, for being named a finalist in the 2024 Indy’s Best and Brightest awards!

Congratulations to April Mattingly, Michelle Cissell, and the entire Children’s Learning Center by Goodwill team for obtaining their NECPA Accreditation!

Congratulations to Goodwill Senior Vice President and Chief Mission and Education Officer Betsy Delgado, who was recently selected for the Pahara Fellowship, a program that identifies exceptional leaders in the educational excellence and equity movement, facilitates their dynamic growth, and strengthens their collective efforts to dramatically improve public education, especially those serving low-income children and communities.
