Congratulations to the AMS Employees of the Month for September 2019! We are very grateful to you for being outstanding members of our corporate family! Thank you Kristin P., Patty C., Monica G., Analida H. and Stefani H.

Every month employees in our various locations nominate a team member who has provided outstanding service to the clients, the company and their team. The individuals being recognized deserve to be thanked and their efforts appreciated. Nominations are listed according to the location that the employee represents. All of the AMS locations are in Valencia, CA, city of Santa Clarita.

Congratulations the following individuals:

Kristin P., HR Payroll (February 2019)
HQ Admin, 29010 Commerce Center Drive

Kristen deserves Employee of the Month. When she began, in February, she took off running! Kristin learned all the multi-function Human Resource tasks from scratch, improved internal process, and kept everything on track. She is very intelligent – has a Master’s Degree in Business Administration, is very hardworking, detailed oriented, professional, and a true down-to-earth cool person to be around, all day.

Patty C., Clerk (September 2011)
HQ Warehouse, 29010 Commerce Center Drive

Patty is incredibly reliable. She is a huge help to her client, and to us day-in and day-out. Kristin played a pivotal role with documenting pickers and their pick times when we were piloting our new process. She always has a great attitude and is always willing to help out.

Monica G., General Warehouse (October 2016)
WIL, 28936 Ave. Williams

Monica is a great co-worker. She always has a positive attitude, and it spreads across to others. Kristin does her tasks quickly and efficiently. She also cares about her punctuality, and is ready to work overtime in any case, if needed. She is also one of the key team players at Williams. We appreciate her commitment to work.

Analida H., Inventory Supervisor (September 2011)
SCO3, 27801 Avenue Scott

I nominate Analida for the immense amount of work she puts into helping the Shipping Department for both sides of our business. Any time we are missing products, she is there to help locate and complete our orders to ship them out in a timely manner. Analida is always positive about having to take time away from her daily duties to get the department the proper replenishment needed, as well, so we have minimal overstock picking possible. She is always at work with a great attitude, and is very friendly with all employees.

Stefani H., Returns Clerk (August 2019)
WIT2, 28624 Witherspoon Parkway

Stefani has made a huge impact in the Returns Department since she came on board in February. She is dependable, organized and detailed. Stefani is very respectful to everyone in the building, and is a true team player.

LA County Launches Fair Chance Hiring Initiative

On September 9th, a press conference was held to announce the launch of the LA County Fair Chance Hiring Initiative. AMS’ Ken Wiseman was one of the leaders speaking at the event.

Ken and other business leaders have been involved in the Employer Engagement Workgroup, which was created to help carry out the obligations of the Prison to Employment Initiative. The Fair Chance Hiring Initiative is a part of that important effort, to encourage businesses to actively hire members of the justice-involved community.

Please see below the event press release.

LA County Launches Fair Chance Hiring Campaign to Raise Awareness of the Benefits of Hiring Justice-Involved Workers

(LOS ANGELES) — Today, members of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors joined business leaders and community partners to announce the launch of an awareness campaign to promote the Fair Chance Hiring Initiative, which encourages businesses to actively hire members of the justice-involved community.

“Today, we challenge employers to think outside the box when making their hiring decisions,” said Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda L. Solis, who authored the motion to establish the Fair Chance campaign. “Studies clearly show that hiring rehabilitated people with past records is a smart business move: they work harder, stay longer, and promote faster than other employees. LA County also offers incentives and support to businesses that hire individuals who have been justice-involved. Everyone deserves a fair chance to get back on their feet – and when they do, everyone benefits.”

As part of the campaign, business executives will be asked to sign the Fair Chance Hiring Pledge, which is a commitment to provide justice-involved individuals a fair chance to participate and to thrive in our economy by promoting fair chance hiring practices. The pledge is available at fairchance.lacounty.gov. Companies that sign the pledge will receive guidance from County Business Services Representatives who will work with them to recruit and keep qualified candidates. The County connects businesses to tax credits, training reimbursement, and other resources when they hire qualified workers who were once incarcerated.

“Hiring justice-involved individuals is not only good for business, but provides an opportunity to transform lives,” said Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas. “Stable employment can help individuals reenter society with the tools they need to lead healthy and productive lives, leading to greater safety in our communities.”

The Fair Chance Hiring initiative is a key component of the County’s overall efforts to expand employment opportunities for justice-involved individuals and to reduce recidivism. Research shows that approximately one in three working-age Americans has a felony criminal record and up to 65 percent of individuals released from incarceration are unemployed a year after release.

“There is a great need for work opportunities among members of the reentry community,” said Vincent Bragg, who founded the advertising agency ConCreates after leaving prison. “Too many of us have been undervalued and overlooked because of complex circumstances. It is vital to have programs like this that can help move the needle toward meaningful change.”

“We have been hiring reentry individuals for several years and can attest to the dedication, reliability and incredible work ethic of our justice-involved employees,” said Ken Wiseman, Chief Workforce Development Officer at AMS Fulfillment. “It is great to see the County offering incentives to businesses that hire from this pool of qualified, talented people.”

The Fair Chance Hiring Campaign also seeks to raise awareness of the State’s Fair Chance Act, which went into effect in January 2018. The law generally prohibits businesses with more than five employees from asking about a job candidate’s criminal record before tendering a conditional job offer.

About LA County Fair Chance Hiring
The Countywide Fair Chance Hiring campaign is designed to raise awareness among businesses of the benefits of adopting Fair Chance Hiring practices. The campaign is a collaborative effort that includes multiple County Departments, under the leadership of the Board of Supervisors, as well as businesses and employers. Partners include: Workforce Development, Aging and Community Services (WDACS), the Department of Consumer and Business Affairs (DCBA), the Probation Department, the Department of Human Resources (DHR), the Office of Diversion and Reentry (ODR), the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation and the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce.

Well Done! Thank You AMS Employees – August 2019

Congratulations to Regina J., Steve D., Michelle S., Pablo S. and Zamantha J. These employees have been selected for Employee of the Month recognition for August 2019. Employees of the Month recognition is meant to be a sincere Thank You from the entire AMS Fulfillment Family!

AMS Fulfillment is a large company with a number of facilities and several hundred employees. Our primary facilities are located in Valencia, CA, City of Santa Clarita.

192 Top Business Leaders Make a Meaningful Commitment

A recent article in the Washington Post brought some surprising news: “…the Business Roundtable, which represents the chief executives of 192 large companies, said that business leaders should commit to balancing the needs of shareholders with customers, employees, suppliers and local communities.”

Is the B-Corporation intent of being good FOR the world catching on?

The Roundtable, chaired by JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, issued a statement saying: “Americans deserve an economy that allows each person to succeed through hard work and creativity and to lead a life of meaning and dignity. We commit to deliver value to all of them, for the future success of our companies, our communities and our country.”

Response to this information on social media has been partially welcoming, partially suspicious and at times cynical. The people are not convinced that these top corporations will stop considering shareholder profit more important than the people, the community and the environment.

Here at AMS, we know that it can be done… because we have always done it. Ever since its inception AMS has created a ‘family’ culture that values employees, community and environment. We know that this passion translates into dedicated employees, better service for the clients and a very high performing company.

A few years ago AMS became a B-Corporation and Social Enterprise. B-Corporations agree to the higher social and environmental standards that these 192 leaders expressed as being their goal, i.e. balancing the needs of shareholders with customers, employees, the environment and local communities.

From Wikipedia we can get some idea of what B Corporation means: “Benefit corporation laws address concerns held by entrepreneurs who wish to raise growth capital but fear losing control of the social or environmental mission of their business. In addition, the laws provide companies the ability to consider factors other than the highest purchase offer at the time of sale. Chartering as a benefit corporation also allows companies to distinguish themselves as businesses with a social conscience, and as one that aspires to a standard they consider higher than profit-maximization for shareholders.

If the B-Corp intention of being good FOR the world is catching on, it is because the people… the customers, the clients, the CEOs and even the shareholders, want it and are beginning to require it. We want environmental protection. We want well-being for our communities and purposeful and rewarding work for employees.

When a company applies for B-Corp status, it is rated based on factors like energy efficiency, employee benefits, and corporate transparency. The applicant must achieve a high score and modify their governing documents to acknowledge their commitment. Once certified, they are required to recertify every two years.

AMS successfully applied, and has remained fully committed to a social mission. The achievements of AMS have been primarily in the arena of education and workforce development, undertaken in cooperation with the SCV College of the Canyons (COC).

AMS and COC created a Logistics Apprenticeship program which is a ground-breaking first of its kind in the US. This program, as well as a number of free educational programs offered in the AMS Learning Center, have set the company apart.

Hand in hand with education and training, AMS is keenly focused on the underserved job seekers in the community, spanning a wide demographic from single mothers to the homeless, to veterans and seniors, to formerly incarcerated individuals and to individuals with disabilities.

Because of our experience and longstanding commitment we are very pleased to see the commitment of the Roundtable of top CEOs. We know that there can be a new concept of ‘what is success’. The environment, the people, the communities, the clients, the customers and the shareholders can all benefit from the success of a Benefit Corporation.

Jay Catlin, AMS CEO, offered the following: “Our B-Corp culture has been with us from the beginning, long before we officially became a B-Corp and social enterprise. We make the work experience more than just a paycheck and give meaning that goes well beyond making ends meet. This comes from a genuine commitment to our customers, employees, community, and the environment.”

AMS’ Ken Wiseman Assists the Fair Chance Hiring Initiative

When AMS CEO, Ken Wiseman stepped down from his position, and took on the position of Chief Workforce Development Officer for AMS, he was following his longstanding passion to help business have a positive impact on the world.

Announcing the change, Ken said, “My professional time will be more focused on the myriad of employment hiring and training programs we are doing with the County, State and various agencies to continue to provide employment opportunities to those struggling to enter, or re-enter the workforce.”

In January we announced that Ken had been invited to be one of the business leaders making up the Employer Engagement Workgroup created to help carry out the obligations of the Prison to Employment Initiative. The Workgroup began their efforts in January, and the Initiative is now entering a new phase, which is an awareness campaign.

The campaign, called the Fair Chance Hiring Initiative, has been announced by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. It encourages businesses to actively hire members of the justice-involved community, and it offers tax credits, training reimbursement, and other resources to businesses hiring qualified workers who were once incarcerated.

Ken and other leaders are offering expert advice to help construct the campaign. Since AMS has been involved for several years in hiring men and women looking for a second chance after incarceration, the advice that Ken offered came from a great deal of positive experience.

“We have been hiring reentry individuals for several years and can attest to the dedication, reliability and incredible work ethic of our justice-involved employees. Do not be surprised by the level of appreciation and retention you experience from these individuals. A safe, challenging, and respectful work environment is a far cry from the world they have left behind.”

AMS looks forward to the campaign promoting the Fair Chance Hiring Initiative, and we thank Ken Wiseman and other leaders for their part in it.

Max L., HQ Billing Coordinator (March 2019)
HQ Administration, 29010 Commerce Center Drive

Max is an important member of the billing team. He continually demonstrates a professional, positive, “can do” attitude and is always willing to take on additional accounts and lend a hand when needed. Some comments from coworkers: “Max is doing a great job! When we get a new Billing Coordinator, I like to audit closely. I check all invoices and they have been spot-on correct down to every last line item, unit and order! He even went above and beyond to find a few orders that didn’t have a value to make sure that we bill for them!” “Fast learner, wants to be helpful, asks lots of questions and verifies work instead of assuming its correct. Quickly understood all processes.”

Danery A., Inventory Clerk (March 2016)
HQ Warehouse, 29010 Commerce Center Drive

Danery has proven to be a team player. He has developed his system’s knowledge and shows a willingness to perform any task requested, efficiently and accurately.

Adam H., General Warehouse II & Janitorial (November 2018)

Adam is a good worker, always available to help in any task, pulling orders, packing and even on our production lines. He deserves Employee of the Month.

Keith E., Operations Manager (July 2012)

He is always willing to help whenever needed and he always makes suggestions on how to keep our building in great condition. It is a pleasure to see the pride he takes in his work. Tanner does an excellent job, and is very fast. Also, Tanner is very friendly. Thank you Tanner!
