The Mentor Program at Sequoia helps us develop and promote new leaders from within. New team members are paired with experienced and recently promoted leaders to pave the way for a successful career. Last week, all mentors and mentees gathered in Sacramento, CA to celebrate, have fun, and spend time with other mentors. Recognizing the significance of both professional and personal development, the Mentor Program provides a platform for team members to thrive. 🙌

Sequoia is making waves! 🌊 In December, we hosted our 2023 Annual Holiday Luncheon. This ocean and nautical themed event celebrated our team members and all of their amazing accomplishments throughout the year. They won awards and prizes, ate some delicious food, and enjoyed a day dedicated to their hard work.
At Sequoia, our commitment to Purpose extends beyond the workplace. Each year, our teams have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the community, with four paid days off for volunteer work, plus a dedicated company-wide volunteer day. In 2023, our Orange County teams embraced this opportunity by contributing their time and effort at Second Harvest Food Bank Orange County's Harvest Solutions Farm. They picked, cleaned, and packaged cauliflower, a small yet impactful step towards supporting those in need. As we look forward to 2024, we are excited to continue our mission of giving back.
Wrapping up the year on a high note with another trophy! 🏆 Sequoia has been awarded a Top Workplaces 2023 honor by the OC Register and Top Workplaces.

Through Personal Purpose Time at Sequoia, our team members receive four paid days off a year where they can volunteer and give back to an organization or cause that is close to their heart. ❤️ Last week, Serena D. from our Home Office, took her Purpose Time to volunteer with Habitat for Humanity East Bay/Silicon Valley.
