5 Landesign Employees Graduated from the WHEEL Program!

WHEEL is an acronym for Worksite Held Employee English Learning sponsored by the Farm Bureau in partnership with the Santa Rosa Chamber of Commerce. The purpose behind the program is to increase English language skills. This is an 8 week program that provides benefits to both the employer and the employee. Safety, self confidence, higher productivity, and enhanced community life are just a few of the benefits.

Landscape believes in the importance of workplace development to the community as a whole. That's why we're excited and proud to announce that 5 of our employees have recently graduated.



Here's why it's such a great program. Employees average a 15% gain in life skills and reading assessment during their first 8 week session of English classes. Employees that completed 8, 8-week sessions increased their basic English skills by 88.9%. When students were asked where they have applied their new-found English skills here's what they said. As business owners we benefit from having happy, successful and engaged employees so all in all, the WHEEL Program is a win-win.
