1 OUTSIDE-IN® COMPANIES RIBBON TYING //////////////////////////////////////On January 13, we celebrated the o�cial three-brand partnership under our shared values-based culture, Outside-In®. In true Outside-In® fashion, we opted to have a “ribbon tying” in lieu of the traditional “ribbon cutting”, a literal representation of the merging of our brands to the public. CBI Group, Placers, and Barton Career Advisors are united by a mindset that advocates putting the customer �rst.

6 CHARITIES SUPPORTED /////We support local charities by giving our time or by donating supplies and/or money.

Sunny visited the o�ce when Paws for People was our Charity of the Month in March.

This year, we held our �rst Knockout NFL Pool and donated half the pool money to the Breast Cancer Charities of America.

462 TEAM ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ////Each day on our morning huddle, we recognize our teammates for values-based moments. At the end of each month, the person with the most acknowledgements is awarded the Outside-In® Superstar award you see above.

365 DAYS OF FIELD OF DREAMS //////Our annual theme this year was inspired by the movie Field of Dreams. Throughout the year, we used baseball lingo and themes from the movie to illustrate our business priorities.

It’s something fun we look forward to each week and we get to know our team members better.

153 BLOG POSTS////////////////Our team of thought leaders had a lot to say this year! Whether it’s o�ering job search tips or advice for managing your workforce, our blogs are full of information.

3RD YEAR COACH //////////////////////////

When shopping for a gift, which do you prefer?

This was President Chris Burkhard’s 3rd year as a HS soccer coach. His team made the local paper with the headline “Decade Strong” because Chris has been coaching his son, Josh and some of the boys on this team since they were in Kindergarden.

72 Hassles Dehassled //////////////////////Everybody has things that happen during the work day that are a real hassle. We have a team who collects everyone’s hassles and works to solve them.
