Premier Nutrition: The Good Energy People

We’re beyond awestruck to have had Steve Kerr host our latest all-company Builders’ Workshop in front of a packed house. Who better to provide advice on leadership and team building than the coach of both the NBA Championship-winning Golden State Warriors and the 2024 Gold Medal winning U.S. Olympic basketball team? PNC/BRBR CEO Darcy Horn Davenport led the conversation with Coach Kerr at our Emeryville HQ, which was based on questions from PNC team members. The discussion ranged from managing high-performing teams and building a first-class culture to giving and receiving feedback, as well as questions about Coach Kerr’s journey from player to coach. It was amazing to hear Coach Kerr describe how well our values align, especially our shared commitment to paying it forward within our community and the world. A huge ring the bell to Coach Kerr for sharing his time with us. It was inspiring to learn from such an accomplished leader and a morning we’ll never forget. #employeeexperience #companyvalues

We’re excited to share the “scoop” on Premier Protein’s National Ice Cream Day celebration last month. Premier Protein hosted a pop-up protein ice cream shop in New York City, serving over 4,800 scoops of protein-packed ice cream made with our shakes. A big “Ring the Bell” to Premier Protein’s Brand Manager, Hannah Deixler, who led the marketing behind this fun event. We’re excited for an in-office protein ice cream pop-up later this month so our employees can taste these amazing protein-powered ice cream flavors as well. #premierproteinicecream #marketing #companyculture

As a culture-driven, fast-growing company, our Talent Acquisition (TA) team has the big task of ensuring we’re staffed with the right people to support our growth AND nurture our people-first culture. During our last all-company “Protein Boost” meeting we were excited to “Ring the Bell” to celebrate the TA team’s achievement of doubling their previous monthly hiring record. Steve McElhaney, who founded our TA team 6 years ago and now oversees it, gave a big shout-out to Tamara Flaherty-Igbineweka, Diana Solares, Jennifer L., Jenni Grubbs, and Jorge Wynne. Collectively, they focus on the total candidate-to-employee experience, screening candidates, developing and guiding hiring teams, and onboarding new hires through training and events. They also implement best practices to assist hiring managers in making thoughtful and unbiased hiring decisions. Thanks to everyone on our hiring team for all their hard work, as well as to everyone else at PNC who assists in getting new hires up and running.

So grateful to have the opportunity to drive PNC's philanthropy program. We're giving our team the reigns to make a difference in our community.

We’re excited to announce the recipients of PNC’s Community Grant Program. Annually, we come together to nominate, learn about, and vote for, which non-profits will receive our company donations. At an All-Company gathering, employees describe the charity they’ve nominated, the impactful work being done, and why it’s personally meaningful to them. We then vote on where to distribute our philanthropic dollars. This year we donated $280,000 across the following organizations. - (BORP) Bay Area Outreach and Recreation Program www.borp.org - Courageous Women’s Association www.courageouswomen.org - Planting Justice www.plantingjustice.org - Alzheimer’s Association www.alz.org - East Oakland Boxing Association www.eoba.org - Save the Waves www.savethewaves.org - George Mark Children's House www.georgemark.org - East Bay SPCA www.eastbayspca.org Click through the links to learn about the amazing work being done by these organizations that we’re honored to support. #PayItForward #employeeexperience 

It’s official…..again! We’ve received the Great Place to Work® certification for the EIGHTH year in a row. We’re honored that 92% of our U.S. employees rated us a Great Place to Work in this annual survey and that we received our highest-ever overall score averaged across all questions. We believe that investing in and supporting our employees is the right way to run a business. We work hard to build a culture of connecting, belonging AND stretch goals. Of treating each other with empathy AND holding each other accountable. And in being clear AND kind. We know Good Energy fuels our business, and it’s clear that our employees believe that too. A big Ring the Bell to everyone at PNC who works hard to support our culture every day, and to everyone who shared their honest feedback on what makes us so amazing, as well as where we can improve. #GPTW #GreatPlacetoWork

To celebrate Women’s History Month, this week we held our second annual women’s mentorship panel featuring women from across the PNC organization. This year, we also included men to provide a perspective on showing up as an ally for women both at home and in the workplace. Topics discussed ranged from empowering your female teammates, work-life balance, juggling parenthood, and finding your confidence and voice. Many thanks to all our panelists including Darcy Horn Davenport, Karen Jobb, Eric W. Hunn, Amy Larek, Stephanie Rhodes, sarah stich, Liz Kaplan, Liz McCauley, Emily Chen, Brian Fanning, and TaShawna Freeman. As a majority female organization, led by a female CEO, we believe women deserve to be empowered every day, and in every role, and we’re doing our best to try and make it happen here at PNC. #womenshistorymonth #empowerwomen

Ever wonder what it’s like to work in a dog-friendly office? Hear from a few of our office humans on why they love bringing their PNC pups to work.

She gets attention from the whole team and comes home happy and tired, which is great for both of us! – Amy Larek, Director of Brand Marketing Upper Right: Pollen loves coming to the office as she knows exactly who to go to for treats. She helps foster a sense of community, and I’ve met so many new colleagues when they stop by my desk to meet her. – Erica Stern Heftye, Director of Brand Finance Lower Right: Bruce loves going to work as it means a guaranteed car ride. He introduces me to other dog-friendly humans and makes sure that I step away from my desk every few hours for a walk! – Melissa Huang, Staff Accountant
