The Workplace Weekly

This week, we began collaborating with Charles Bart-Williams and the Accounting team to identify the best path forward for contractor expenses.

Because of the operational nature of Workplace, our contractors regularly purchase consumables, office supplies, vendor-related items, and materials for employee events. Since contractors are not currently eligible for Truist cards, many of those expenses are concentrated on one corporate card — creating additional reconciliation work and limiting individual accountability.

The team is now evaluating a payment structure that better supports our day-to-day needs while maintaining appropriate financial controls. A scalable solution would give contractors greater ownership of local purchasing and reduce the administrative burden across the portfolio.

Thank you to Charles for partnering with us to work toward a practical solution.

Certification training is being coordinated across all office locations. Training will be available to interested employees, while Workplace Operations Associates who do not hold a current certification will be required to attend.

Thank you to Sam for leading the scheduling coordination with each office. This is an important step in strengthening our Workplace Safety Program and ensuring trained support is available throughout the portfolio.
