Top Workplace of 2022

Corks popping and fireworks fireworkin’. That’s the sound of our team celebrating!

Each year, approximately 1,500 companies are invited to compete for a spot on the “Top Workplaces” list . The process is extensive and relies on anonymous surveys and interviews with employees across all industries, looking for culture drivers that are critical to the success of any organization including: alignment, execution, and connection, just to name a few. The data has been compiled and the results are in: Nationwide Power, is honored to claim their 2022 title as a Top Workplace.

You may have heard us a few times already as we talk about company culture, “Doing it right the first time”, and our commitment to providing a quality-first and team-first environment. However, when our own team members take a stand on behalf of the company, that’s when you know it’s legit!

The critical power industry isn’t typically the first that comes to mind for a culture-first, team-first environment. In fact, Nationwide Power’s business model of focusing inward on quality is one of the differentiators that sets us apart from competitors. We asked our Vice President, Jim Hallingstad to chime in on what makes us so unique compared to our competitors, and he wasn’t shy with his comments: “It’s important that our team members, especially our Critical Power Professionals™ in the field who are interacting with our customers day in and day out, know that they’re heard and that their voice matters. After all, it is the team members doing the actual work and who know their jobs the best, not the managers. Why would we not want to encourage our people to help improve their processes and increase quality, which in turn helps make our customers successful?”

During the COVID-19 pandemic, when many of our competitors reduced hours or furloughed employees, we made it a priority to keep every team member and even hired new ones. While this may have had a short-term cost to the company, the long-term gain of shifting the focus to process refinement and quality assurance, along with taking care of the team, will have a longstanding ROI.

Hallingstad added, “While many companies are struggling to recruit and retain good talent, it’s just not an issue we have at Nationwide Power. With strong retention numbers, we really haven’t felt the effect of the ‘Great Resignation’ that is crippling companies across all industries. This is true throughout our company, including our Critical Power Professionals™ in the field. It’s really a testament to the culture of quality our team has built, why our turnover is low, and why our team voted their workplace as a Top 2022 Workplace.”

2020 – A Year in Review

2020 – A Year in Review

2020 – A Year in Review

As the year 2020 has come to a close, we’re all looking forward to a better and brighter year ahead in 2021.

For a lot of companies throughout the country, business came to a pause in late March of last year. Nationwide Power™ was no exception. However, it was during this uncertain time that we decided to shift our focus towards internal improvement.

According to Vice President Jim Hallingstad, “2020 started out strong and was tracking to be a year of significant growth. In January we embarked on a companywide quality and process improvement program, so as we got into March and everything pretty much came to a halt, we were able to focus a lot of our efforts on quality and process improvements. This downtime allowed our entire team to focus on just that. As the economy began re-opening and businesses started to resume some operations, we were in an even better position than before to provide the highest level of service to our customers.”

During trying times, we try to remember the saying, “true character shows in the face of adversity.” While Nationwide Power continued to grow to have one of the largest footprints across the country, it has strived to maintain its family-like culture. During the pandemic, Nationwide Power’s commitment to its team members and customers was loud and clear. As a result, there were no furloughs, layoffs, or salary reductions and hiring commitments made in early March were honored despite an initial downturn in business volume. Hiring also continued throughout the pandemic, and still continues today.

As an essential business, Nationwide Power continued to operate and provide emergency service throughout the United States for all existing customers during the onset of COVID-19. Certain safety measures were put in place to protect both its team members and customers.

Due to the dedication and teamwork of every single employee and a loyal customer base, Nationwide Power was able to show yet another year of positive growth, despite all of the hurdles.

Even through all the uncertainty, Nationwide Power has continued to hire corporate team members along with additional Critical Power Professionals™ to service customers in the field.

“The fact that we can continue to have positive outcomes under the most challenging circumstances is a true testament to the commitment of our entire team.” -Jim Hallingstad, VP

Commitment to Service | Stanley Bryan

Thank you, Stanley Bryan, Critical Power Professional™ at Nationwide Power™, for your daily commitment to quality and service!

Each day, our Critical Power Professionals (CPP™) do their part in ensuring our customers receive the highest level of service and quality. Stanley is among our most tenured Critical Power Professionals with 35 years of direct industry experience, which he continually uses to educate and provide the highest levels of service to our customers.

During a routine service call, a Nationwide Power customer recently went out of their way to show their appreciation:

“Thanks a million for your time here in Virginia Beach, and I got your message loud and clear about the position of the battery cabinet! Your expertise is absolutely appreciated, and I will be reaching out to leadership. You’re an absolute professional and to have an interaction with a world class engineer as yourself is a privilege and thank you for the OUTSTANDING service to our community hospital! We will be reaching out soon.”

Stanley Bryan was onsite at a hospital group to perform routine maintenance on the customer’s Toshiba 4400 UPS system, where he followed standard Nationwide Power preventive maintenance protocols, including making age-based and safety recommendations, as well as addressing any NEC code standards.

While there was nothing alarming within the preventive maintenance inspection itself, there is something to be said for when long-time customers go out of their way to recognize the day-to-day efforts and consistent level of professionalism by our Critical Power Professionals.

Thank you for your ongoing commitment to quality and service, Stanley!

Nationwide Power continues to serve businesses across the United States with their critical power needs

Nationwide Power is an essential business, and as such, has continued to service customers across the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic with certain precautions in place.

As with many businesses, Nationwide Power saw a decline in demand during the early weeks of the pandemic. Rather than furloughing employees to cut overhead costs, Nationwide Power shifted its focus inward. Confident that when businesses reopened and began operating as normal, Nationwide Power has positioned themselves to be prepared for the increased demand.

“While we have seen many other service providers and OEM’s in the industry drastically limit their services, increase pricing, and furlough employees, we took the opportunity to use these slower weeks to refine our processes and focus on quality. We knew that when businesses started operating again, there would be a huge backlog of demand for both existing and new customers,” according to Jim Hallingstad, Vice President of Nationwide Power.

Since the onset of the pandemic, not only has Nationwide Power retained its full staff, they have also grown the team both at the corporate level and throughout the field.

The following safety measures have been put in place for the safety of both employees and team members:

  • Regular temperature checks for team members in contact with either other team members or customers, and immediate reporting of any COVID-19-related symptoms.
  • Remote work where available and appropriate.
  • Increased cleaning and electrostatic sanitization schedule at the corporate office.
  • Regularly washing hands for at least 20 seconds.
  • Keeping a six-foot distance between self and others (social distancing).
  • Avoiding gatherings of 10 or more people.
  • Regularly disinfect workspace, tools, computers, and cell phones.

For any business requiring critical power service, contact Nationwide Power at 866-341-7547 or visit www.nationwidepower.com.

Nationwide Power services include:

  • Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) equipment sales
  • UPS equipment preventive maintenance and emergency service
  • UPS battery maintenance, replacement, and recycling
  • Critical power supporting components including emergency generators, switch gear, and HVAC

Nationwide Power published an initial statement regarding COVID-19 on March 20, 2020, which can be found here.

Nationwide Power continues to serve businesses across the United States with their critical power needs

Nationwide Power’s Commitment to Customers During the COVID-19 Pandemic

News Article

Nationwide Power’s Commitment to Customers During the COVID-19 Pandemic

**Updated June 9th, 2020**
As businesses and local communities continue to reopen and balance safety with business operations, Nationwide Power has remained flexible. We continue to remain open, fully staffed, and ready to meet the critical power needs of our customers across the United States, while adhering to all local safety recommendations and mandates. For more info, click here.

 

**Updated April 23, 2020**
Nationwide Power continues to remain open and fully staffed (no reduction in workforce, no layoffs, no furloughs). We continue to closely monitor all local, state, and federal agencies on any mitigating restrictions as curves flatten, and businesses start re-opening.

We remain open and are providing service with priority given to all existing customers, where appropriate social distancing and safety measures have been put into place.

As this situation continues to evolve, additional updates will be provided.

 

**Updated April 2, 2020**
Effective April 2, 2020, to protect both our customers and our employees, all non-urgent field service work, including preventive maintenance, non-urgent T&M / remedial work, and battery services are postponed through April 30, 2020.

Nationwide Power will remain open to service existing customers with emergency service or time-sensitive critical power needs. As this situation evolves, additional updates will be provided.

 

Nationwide Power’s Commitment to Customers During the COVID-19 Pandemic

With much uncertainty and the constant change taking place in our communities today, we would like to take a moment to reassure our customers that Nationwide Power will remain open for business and will continue to service our customers.

Nationwide Power is an essential business operation, providing customers with critical power services. Our team services thousands of hospitals and medical facilities across the United States, along with local emergency service organizations (911, rescue, fire), news and media outlets, data networks, and government facilities just to name a few – all of whom rely on our team for 100% uptime.

24/7/365 Emergency Service will remain available for all customers in all current service areas. There will be no interruption in our level of support to our customers.

What safety precautions is Nationwide Power taking for its employees and customers?

Nationwide Power is closely adhering to all recommendations made by the CDC and WHO, including but not limited to:

  • Regularly washing hands for at least 20 seconds.
  • Keeping a six-foot distance between self and others (social distancing).
  • When feeling sick, immediately report symptoms to the manager and seek medical assistance.
  • Avoid gatherings of 10 or more people and make sure you have plenty of supplies should your area be placed under mandatory quarantine.
  • Regularly disinfect workspace, tools, computers, and cell phones.

Additionally, all customers have the option to postpone routine preventive maintenance appointments for a later date, based on their individual needs and circumstances. However, we do not recommend postponing battery replacements as the future stability of the supply chain is not certain.

How is Nationwide Power handling the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic?

As a company, Nationwide Power has built a business based on quality and service. Our national team is positioned to continue servicing our customers with no interruption of service or change in current business practices. Our technology investments over the years have been paying off, as evidenced by this crisis and our business continuity.

For customers who are experiencing temporary closures or need to delay service, our team is accommodating those needs in any way possible.

Regarding both our customers and team members, we believe that our family-like culture is more evident now than ever before, as our team comes together to support each other during the uncertain months ahead.
