“One of the things that’s so beautiful about
being a small business owner is that within your
four walls, you can do things for your employees
that bigger corporationswouldn’t do,” he said.
That freedom is best manifested by a monthly
profit-sharing program to reward the workforce
that has produced success.
“Optimax offers its teammembers 100-percent
tuition assistance, so if they want to take
any kind of coursework or training – as
long as it fits within their career path – it’s
100-percent paid for,” Plympton said.
“Once you get out of school, you don’t
stop learning. You have to keep getting
better and better, to createmore value – to
compe t e e f f e c t i ve l y in a g l oba l
marketplace.”
