IH Services fosters a culture where everyone strives to do their best and feel great about doing it.

IH Services believes that most people want to be a part of something special… something that is more than just showing up, clocking in and out, and going home.

IH Services accomplishes this through a process we call “Purposeful Engagement” which consists of 5 simple principles:

  1. Make sure they know that we care about them.
  2. Give them a safe environment to work in.
  3. Ask them more often than tell them.
  4. Recognize them for doing right instead of always pointing out what’s wrong.
  5. Celebrate their successes.
