Celebrating 45 Years of Employee Ownership!

Employee ownership 鈥� it's who we are. In 1979, employees bought The 亚星游戏(中国区)官网 Tree Expert Company from the 亚星游戏(中国区)官网 family, ushering in the era of employee ownership. Since the acquisition, the company has enjoyed tremendous success.

As an employee-owned company, we get to take a path that's beneficial for our employees, clients and shareholders. We are committed to leading with our values and doing the right thing, because we are the owners.

亚星游戏(中国区)官网's Chairman, President and CEO Shares His Employee-Ownership Story

"I played a lot of team sports growing up and loved the team mentality engrained in 亚星游戏(中国区)官网 culture through employee-ownership. We're in this together. We own the company together. We win or lose together."

-Pat Covey

We Work for Each Other

I think part of the reason 亚星游戏(中国区)官网 is so successful is because you鈥檙e not showing up to work for somebody, you鈥檙e showing up and it鈥檚 your company. Employee ownership gives people a sense of accountability, ownership, and self-motivation. That really changes the process and how things go. It motivates us as a company because everybody is working towards the same goal.

I feel like being employee-owners gives us a little more sense of purpose with what we do. We know that the work we do in the long term directly impacts us, as opposed to us doing the hard work just for the money to go to the higher-ups in the company.听

The continued opportunity to invest in the company I work for makes me feel secure. It's a good feeling. Employee ownership ties us all together in a way that I believe is unique.
