Incredible Organization with Entrepreneurial Culture

7/26/2023 - Human Resources at Sterling, VA

Positive outlook
Approves of CEO

Pros

Fast-paced work, ability to delight customers at what's often one of the most difficult periods of their lives (moving), entrepreneurial atmosphere to 'choose your own adventure' regarding your career, and an INCREDIBLE team of professional movers, drivers, and knowledge workers. It's an amazing place.

Cons

Benefits package could be richer compared to benchmarks.

Established in January 2021, the JK Moving/CapRelo Diversity Council works in unity to foster a culture of belonging and inclusion that champions diversity and equity. We are committed to promoting continual learning, active listening, and thoughtful dialogue to treat one another with care and respect.

Check out what our Diversity Council is doing!

Employee Mentorship Program

The mentorship program connects individuals across the organization, providing a unique opportunity to collaborate on ideas, improve skills and establish connections. The mentor acts as a role model for the mentee - recommending learning opportunities, coaching, and assistance setting and achieving personal and professional goals.

Nova Labs Robotics Youth Group

The Diversity Council participated in a six-week mentoring program for the Nova Labs Robotics Youth group. The Diversity Council provided mentorship to a group of young women aged 13-15. They provided support, guidance, and career advice.

Monthly DEI&B Newsletter

“Let’s Talk Diversity” is a JK Moving/CapRelo monthly newsletter that is shared across the organization. The newsletter recommends best practices for leadership and invites employees to reflect on Council initiatives, teaching them how to play a part in maintaining a culture that values and encourages belonging, diversity, and inclusivity.  

About Us

Our philosophy is simple: We just want to help. It’s apparent in everything we do — in the way we treat our employees, the way we give back to the community, and in the way we do whatever it takes to make our customers lives easier.

As we see it, moving usually equates to stress. And we’re changing that with every move we make. No matter where your next move takes you, we want this transition to be a smooth one.

History

We didn’t set out to be the largest privately owned moving and storage company in the area. It all started in Jim and Shirley Kuhn’s basement, when their son, Chuck, decided he didn’t want to just make money — he wanted to make a difference.

The enterprising 16-year-old started with just two employees, a truck, and a promise to provide clients with high-quality moving services at a great price. But as Chuck made more moves and met more clients, he quickly realized that the moving industry was in need of change. The industry had a bad reputation—and because people only moved about three times in their lives, there really wasn’t any incentive for change.

Inspired, Chuck decided to create JK Moving, a company comprised of more than just movers; he wanted move experts. Forget day laborers. JK started hiring full time employees who were passionate about helping others. JK aligned with the best organizations in the industry and when there were no standards, JK created them. For example, JK built its own training facility, a two-story house complete with furniture, wallpaper, fixtures, carpet and more.

Today, JK Moving Services is the largest independent moving companies in North America. The company philosophy is simple: JK knows what matters most. You can see the philosophy at work in everything JK does, from the way in which it serves its customers — to the way in which the company operates.
