The Home Office team is excited to announce Jenny Edwards as the 2025 Employee of the Year! Jenny is someone people rarely see, but who impacts everyone in the Home Office. Even though she is here when the rest of us are not, her impact is significant—she ensures that the space we spend our day in is clean, cared for, and a place where we can do our best work.

Jenny’s very best work, however, is with her heart. She is kind, attentive, and quietly delivers. She has been overheard sharing that she makes sure the chairs are pushed in, because it is the extra touch that helps when people arrive each day. She has been known to leave notes of kindness to others and is a true example of helping others feel “seen.” She is a role model for all in this regard, and much can be learned from her example. It is our pleasure to nominate Jenny and express our gratitude for the way she lifts up the entire team. Congratulations Jenny—we are thrilled to celebrate you as our Employee of the Year!
