Employee Appreciation: ESRT Celebrates Colleagues with Summer Events
August 24, 2023
Empire State Realty Trust celebrated employees this July with a special breakfast, Gratitude Thursday event, and its quarterly Pulse Survey celebration. Colleagues took a break from the workday to socialize and share a meal or a treat as a thank you from the company for their hard work throughout the second quarter.

To celebrate 100% company participation, ESRT hosted an ice cream social where colleagues created their own cookie ice cream sandwiches with Coolhaus Ice Cream on July 12.
