The Importance of Community Involvement
Most businesses begin with one person believing that they can improve some facet of life in some way. If the product or service this person proposes adds enough value to a community, you are well on your way to success.
Striking partnerships with other organizations also following this formula is another way to add value. In our opinion, anyone not taking these opportunities is missing out.
For example, our partnership with preferred employers adds value to the communities we serve by addressing the relocation needs of those who are new to the area and in need of immediate housing while they settle in. This partnership not only saves employees money on rent and application fees, but it also provides short- and long-term housing solutions that are often less expensive than lengthy hotel stays and third party corporate housing companies.
Redwood is currently pursing partnerships for our preferred employer programs with L Brands, Flagstar Bank, Brew Dog, Marco's Pizza, and General Motors.
In the case of international relocation services, we also partner with PaySmart USA to provide one-stop shop for bundling utility bills, and CORT Furniture to provide furnished housing. Of course, furnished housing is available to any of our residents, some of whom elect this perk because they are with us for short-term stays, are just embarking on life after college or recent life change, or any circumstances where they see a benefit.
Partnerships also afford the opportunity for community involvement more directly, such as our sponsorship of the General Motors/ UAW 2209 kickball tournament, and our anticipated participation in L Brands with their cancer fighting charity initiatives.
It is true: teamwork makes the dream work, folks.
