Writing on the Wall: Fall 2021

New Skills, New Roles
Wall Residences is commited to being
a place where a longtime career has
opportunities for professional growth
and development. We know a long
tenure also gives each person the best
chance to positively influence our organization
through their unique ideas,
experience, and perspective. In return,
our Employee Stock Ownership Program
best benefits employees who are
part of our team for many years.
As employees gain new skills, degrees,
and certifications, we see
exciting promotions occur. Jalisa
Broggin shared one such example of
an employee’s exciting growth with
Wall Residences. Jalisa notes, “Ashley
Harris started with the agency in
November 2018. She worked as a
WRAP DSP and was truly an asset
to our program.” During this time,
she was also working to complete her
bachelor’s degree in human services
with a minor in psychology, while
continuing her role as a wife and
mother. Ashley balanced the demands
of all three beautifully, and when she
received her degree, Jalisa strongly
encouraged her to look at Program
Manager positions. Jalisa was sure
Ashley would be an asset to the company
in this new role. Ashley is now
a Program Manager for our Central
Virginia Group Homes, doing exceptional
work. She’s recently returned
to school for a Master’s Degree in
Human Services with a concentration
in Counseling. Jalisa continues, “I
appreciate the company and how it
gives employees the opportunity for
upward mobility, and truly allows
us to utilize our skills to serve the
individuals we support.”
Ashley Harris is putting her
freshly earned degree to work with
a new role at Wall Residences
Ashley is one shining example of
growth and opportunity within Wall
Residences. Read the Friday updates
and you’ll notice most leadership
level jobs being filled from within,
as our employees seek new ways to
positively influence the important
work done by the agency!
