First Annual Company Party

Last week Next Level Solutions came together at our headquarters in Springfield, MO to celebrate our accomplishments and to cast vision for the coming year. For many, it was the first time to meet face to face with our workforce being spread across the country.

It was a great opportunity for teamwork and collaboration as two days were spent with everyone working out of the Springfield office. COO and Managing Partner, Michael Smith said “The team that we are building is the greatest group of people that I have worked with. The camaraderie that exists within NLS is unlike anything I’ve seen. The chance to get everyone together only strengthened the bonds that we have within our organization.”

The occasion wasn’t all work and no play, the week was capped off by a night of dinner, prizes, and entertainment. While we dined at the historic Hotel Vandivort in downtown Springfield, prizes were raffled, and we heard from co-founders Chris Sawyer and Michael Smith. Michael spoke about growth, individually and as a company, while Chris Sawyer, President and CEO gave a recap of 2019 and the vision for 2020. After this, several were able to showoff their acting skills as we were entertained by a local improv group. As a special thanks to end the night, everyone went home with a gift and a newTesla…. a Hot wheels Tesla that is.

“We have an amazing group of people, and we wanted to show them how much we appreciate them all. It was pretty special to have NLS together in one place,” remarked Chris.

Quote 6

“NLS encourages a culture of collaborative working and learning, meaning that regardless of job title or position, everyone is willing to help one another. A big focus at NLS is work/life balance, I feel that they really try to foster this idea every day. Every company says they have an open-door policy, but at NLS I feel that really rings true. The managers are always accessible with their actual doors open when available. It is truly refreshing to work for a company that treats you like and adult and allows you to have control of your job path. It doesn't matter if you have been here a week or years, everyone at NLS is part of the family. I truly feel that this company everyday tries to live up to its motto: DO GOOD WORK!!”
