At a defining moment in the self-storage industry, when profits are at an all-time high, Haviland Storage Services operates with a philanthropic focus on connecting with their community. Under the leadership of owner and operator Sue Haviland, employees are empowered to support causes dear to their hearts through the many ways to give back with Charity Storage.<\/p>\n
\u201cI saw Charity Storage as a wonderful way for our stores to do something in their local communities,\u201d says Haviland. \u201cI\u2019ve been on the board for seven or eight years now. It just started with wanting to help people in my community, and then I saw that I had the ability to help with all the trade shows I spoke at. I connect with so many people when I go out and visit their sites, so I knew I could use those connections for good.\u201d<\/p>\n
Haviland manages 13 facilities, assisting operators with hiring, training, and day-to-day operations. \u201cThe goal is to have those small operators be able to operate just as well as the guys with the big budgets,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
One of Haviland Storage Service\u2019s specialties is training. \u201cWhen we put people behind the counters, we try to make sure they have all the tools and training accessible to them to feel confident in the service they give their customers,\u201d Haviland says. \u201cIt\u2019s key to have someone behind the counter that customers feel will care about their things as much as they do. We used to hire caretakers because it is important to have people that are empathetic and personable.\u201d<\/p>\n
