BAS Care & Culture
Bailey Templeman
Care & Culture Manager
Human Resources
At BAS, our culture isn’t just a slogan...it’s a way of life.
While many companies claim to operate like a family, we genuinely live that out every day. That commitment led to the creation of a unique role: the Care & Culture Manager.
This position is dedicated to nurturing our internal community, staying in touch with teams across departments and states, and proactively fostering a healthy, connected, and forward-moving environment. Our strong company culture isn’t accidental. It’s been thoughtfully developed over the years to reflect our core values in both our daily operations and our customer relationships.
Much of BAS’s success stems directly from how well our people collaborate and support one another in achieving shared goals. We love what we do, and we love doing it together. The way we treat each other - with care, honesty, kindness, and integrity - is the same way we treat our customers. The Care & Culture Manager ensures this positive dynamic continues to thrive and evolve, helping protect and enhance the culture that defines who we are.
