Our Values\n
\n
Be Safe: I commit to keep myself and others safe.\n
Be Bold: I challenge the status quo, to make the impossible possible.\n
Be Impactful: I exceed expectations for all those I serve.\n
Be NSC: I work with others to achieve NSC results.\n\n
With safety being a key value for employees, this year NSC employees were tasked with setting individual safety goals. This included conducting office inspections, chair-side ergonomic assessments, working with our Emergency Preparedness Committee to increase first aid training, Stop the Bleed training, customer service paging training and emergency preparedness drills.\n
After experiencing two calendar years (2017 and 2018) and over 1 million hours without a recordable incident, NSC recorded 4 on-the-job injuries during 2019. Our 2019 incident rate increased to 1.5, with 1.3 being the average recordable rate for the professional and business services industry sector.\n
Our Finances\n
As a mission-driven nonprofit organization, revenue from our programs, services and philanthropic donations goes right back into our advocacy work so we can help people live their fullest lives. For a breakdown of our financials, please check out the NSC 2019 Statement of Financial Position and NSC 2019 Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Assets.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]\n
