Why BeTold Invests in Young Professionals: Connection, Growth and Community Loyalty
Guest Post by Jay Evans, Director/Owner, BeTold
Young Professionals Network members connect at a YPN Breakfast Club event.
At The Chamber, we know that when young professionals thrive, our entire region thrives. That’s why companies like BeTold make bold moves to support the next generation of talent—and they see big returns in culture, loyalty and local presence.
Jay Evans, Director and Owner of BeTold, shares how investing in his team through the Young Professionals Network (YPN) is strengthening their company from the inside out.
More Than a Paycheck: What Young Professionals Really Want
Today’s emerging leaders are looking for more than just a job. They want meaning, momentum, and a sense of belonging. At BeTold, that’s not just understood. It’s built into the culture.
From the start, the company has been intentional about connecting employees to growth opportunities and community involvement. One standout example? Their ongoing investment in the Chamber and YPN.
“At BeTold, creating connections is one of our core values—and YPN gives our team a space to live that out,” says Evans. “It’s built for young professionals who want to grow, lead and make an impact. That mission clicked with us immediately.”
A Smart Way to Grow Talent (and Your Brand)
By supporting team members through YPN, BeTold is doing more than boosting morale. They’re building visibility.
“Being part of YPN helped us launch our brand with real momentum,” Evans explained.
“It gave our employees the chance to authentically represent BeTold and forge meaningful relationships in the community.”
The result? A stronger brand presence and a team that’s confident, connected, and proud to show up.
Loyalty Through Leadership
Investing in employees outside of the office often brings big returns inside the workplace.
“We trust our team to represent us, and in return, they feel more connected to both the work and the mission,” says Evans.
BeTold also encourages team members to pursue leadership roles within YPN to sharpen their skills and confidence, knowing those experiences will serve them well in their day-to-day roles.
Advice to Other Employers
“Encourage your high-potential team members to explore YPN and commit to showing up. If they take it seriously, you’ll get back a more capable, confident employee ready for bigger responsibilities,” Evans recommends.
