Productive Living Systems was a sanctuary. It gave me a safe place to land when I had loss. It’s been like a home to me.

Kiersten Karlsen
PLS Director of Operations

I am extremely thankful that PLS is an ESOP and has been contributing to my retirement since I started, over 15 years ago. This motivates me to "think like an owner." I know that when PLS is successful, that success is shared with all.

Amber Ritter
PLS Director of Staff Development

As a tenured employee owner, I've experienced professional growth at PLS. Seeing my ESOP account balance grow over the years is rewarding and helps build on future retirement goals.

Working at a 100% employee-owned company has been a game-changer for me. You truly feel like your voice matters and that the work you do directly contributes to the company's overall mission and success.

I'm grateful to be part of an employee-owned company. Knowing my contributions have a direct impact on the livelihoods of our team members and clients gives me a stronger sense of purpose. It's more than a job -- it's a shared investment in our future.

All of our actions, regardless of role, influence the success of PLS. We feel motivated to contribute, knowing that our efforts have a direct impact on the well-being of the whole. I'm grateful to be part of a company that values this mindset.

PLS has a mission you want to get behind -- not only because we help hundreds of clients every year, but also because those values are evident in the company culture through employee ownership.

I have watched many team members come to understand what an ESOP is and appreciate its significant benefits. I hope to be here for many more years to watch PLS grow -- because as long as PLS grows, my ESOP account will too.
