At People Plus, being a family-owned and woman-owned business isn’t just a line on our website—it’s the foundation of everything we do. For 37 years, we’ve served communities across Kentucky with a people-first mindset that stems from our roots as a local, family-run company.
In a world filled with corporate giants and impersonal algorithms, we believe the human touch still matters. When clients call us, they speak to someone who knows their business—not just a voice in a call center. When employees walk through our doors, they’re treated as individuals with stories, challenges, and potential—not just resumes to scan.
So, what does being a family-owned business really mean in today’s workforce?
1. Relationships Come First
We believe strong relationships drive results. Many of our client partnerships and talent relationships have lasted decades. That longevity doesn’t happen by accident—it’s built on trust, transparency, and always doing the right thing, even when it’s not the easiest path.
2. We Make Decisions with Heart and Purpose
As a locally owned company, we’re nimble enough to adapt quickly and thoughtful enough to lead with our values. Whether it’s adding Mental Health Days to our benefits, listening to employee feedback through our Best Places to Work survey, or providing storm relief resources, we make decisions with people in mind—not shareholders.
3. Our Success Is Shared
We’re proud to have been named a Best Place to Work in Kentucky for 13 years in a row. That recognition belongs to every team member who shows up each day with heart, hustle, and hope. In our culture, success isn’t about the bottom line—it’s about lifting each other up and leaving things better than we found them.
4. Kentucky Isn’t Just Where We Work—It’s Home
Our roots run deep in the Commonwealth. From Paducah to Central Kentucky, we care about what happens in our communities because we live here, too. We volunteer, support local causes, and show up when our neighbors need us most.
A Note from Our President
“People Plus was founded on a simple belief: that when you take care of people, the rest will follow. Being a family-owned business gives us the freedom to lead with that belief every day. We’re proud of our past, excited for the future, and honored to walk beside our clients and employees through it all.”
— Amanda Huddleston, President
Being family-owned in today’s workforce means we’re not just chasing what’s next—we’re grounded in what matters. And that will never change.
