The stated idea behind the IMCOM Leadership Pledge is that excellence in customer service grows out of how an organization treats its employees. If employees have engaged leaders, feel valued and respected, and have relevant professional development opportunities, this generates a positive attitude that passes naturally to customers and co-workers.<\/p>\n

IMCOM is a supporting command and a service provider organization, with programs and services that contribute to Army readiness. Since its inception, the IMCOM Leadership Pledge has served as a visible symbol and a reminder to leaders that all employees deserve respect and the basic tools needed to be successful.<\/p>\n

According to the pledge, \u201cTaking care of those we serve begins with taking care of our most valuable asset \u2013 our IMCOM professionals. IMCOM leaders will provide our team members the same concern, respect and caring attitude that we expect them to share with our Soldiers, Families, Civilians and Retirees.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
