What You Should Know

Though its industry real estate has nothing to do with wellness or volunteerism, CWS Apartment Homes LLC is committed to both. Through its BRIDGE program, CWS encourages employee-directed charitable giving. CWS donated $65,745 in the last year, and it's a great source of pride for employees. The company is also dedicated to its employees wellness, giving them $100 in fitness bucks to be used for wellness-related purchases and running a monthly HealthSmart challenge. But it's also about getting the job done, and in this family-feel, friendly workplace, people work as a team. The best fit for CWS is an honest real estate professional who s excited about community involvement. Our wellness program is awesome at promoting overall wellness, says one employee. Our BRIDGE program is an awesome way for us to give back to the community and make a positive impact on those in need.
