Hope and Belonging with the LIFT Group
At Bob Barker Company, the LIFT Group Team Member Resource Group (TRG) isn't just a team initiative; it's a real-world example of transformative change and unity.
The LIFT Group TRG, short for "Love, Inspiration, Fellowship, Transformation," embodies the essence of its name. Founded and driven by Team Members, this Group stands as a testament to fostering belonging and support within our Company. As a "Second Chance" employer, Bob Barker Company values diversity and welcomes individuals who have been justice involved into its workforce.
The mission of the LIFT Group is to nurture the human spirit and ensure every Team Member feels a sense of inclusion. The Group comprises both formerly justice involved Team Members as well as Team Members who are "Belonging Backers" who haven't necessarily been justice involved but offer support to those with such experiences. The Group acts as a support system, fostering job-related skills, social skills and resources, and providing unconditional fellowship.
The LIFT Group is committed to offering hope and opportunities through acceptance and understanding. It's a place where challenges are met with compassion, offering guidance and assistance to those navigating life post-justice involvement.
The LIFT Group is a diverse mix of individuals dedicated to creating a supportive community. The Group is integral to Bob Barker Company's vision of “Transforming the criminal justice system while honoring God in all we do.” It also is closely associated with the Bob Barker Foundation, which is aimed at reducing recidivism.
The LIFT Group states, "Life's challenges demand different solutions, especially for those justice involved. We may not have all the answers, but we're committed to providing hope and opportunities through acceptance and understanding."
The LIFT Group TRG at Bob Barker Company isn't just a resource; it's a beacon of hope, an embodiment of support, and a testament to the power of belonging.
