Our guest is Robert "Bob" Whalen, President & Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of HB Global, LLC. At the time of this interview, HB Global employed approximately 750 people across three divisions of employee-owned mechanical service companies: HB McClure Company, IT Landes Company, and Nash Plumbing and Mechanical, with locations in Harrisburg, York, and Harleysville, Pennsylvania, and Wildwood, Florida.
Bob Whalen describes how their ESOP creates both a positive current working environment today and a retirement vehicle for the future. An ESOP won't turn a bad company into a good company - but an ESOP can make a good company into a *great* company. Focusing on employees first helps HB Global outperform the marketplace.
