“Every single thing <strong>PMOLink</strong> does is to invest in<br />

their employees and make them better because the<br />

better and more qualified they make us, the more we<br />

can handle for our clients,” said Angela Nelson, who<br />

worked her way up from billable consultant to a project<br />

manager.<br />

The company also pays employees’ annual dues and<br />

monthly meeting fees for professional organizations.<br />

Employees can also nominate any of their co-workers<br />

for the company’s quarterly Golden Link Award for<br />

outstanding achievement. The winner receives $200<br />

and an engraved award.<br />

Events at <strong>PMOLink</strong> include a monthly movie night<br />

the first Thursday of every month with popcorn, pizza<br />

and drinks at the corporate office.<br />

<strong>PMOLink</strong> conducts most of its events at its 2001<br />

Lakeshore Drive headquarters in Mandeville, which is<br />

the historic, 187-year-old Justine Plantation overlooking<br />

Lake Pontchartrain. The company moved there<br />

after Hurricane Katrina destroyed its West End headquarters<br />

in <strong>New</strong> <strong>Orleans</strong>.<br />

“It’s so nice to have a place for events, and it doesn’t<br />

seem like you’re having it at a business,” said Georgine<br />

Berthelot, director of training and engagement manager.<br />

“We have a lot of people working in various places<br />

and telecommuting, and the company does a great job<br />

of consciously bringing people together and providing<br />

a good time.”•<br />
