WE WILL SPEND TIME helping you make your firm a great place to work. Is everyone on the same page as it pertains to growth? Do you give your employees room to fail and learn from their mistakes or do you micromanage everything? Is personal and professional development part of the overall company plan or just an afterthought? Is there clear access to leadership and are transparent discussions encouraged? Finally, are you competitive with pay and benefits in your current market compared to other peer firms. This session should help you take stock of where your company is with regards to being a “Great Place to Work!” There is always room for improvement and some of the ideas shared should drive real discussion and change when and where needed in your organization.

A Great Place to Work
Recruits from within. This is a great practice that
can pay off in the long run. These people know
your company culture and while they may not
have the necessary ingredients now they can
grow into the job.
