The Road to Becoming a Great Workplace

What makes a great workplace? Each year the Detroit Free Press recognizes Top Workplaces in Michigan based on employee input for respective nominated companies. For the last three years, Giffels Webster has been awarded the title “Top Workplace” among other exceptional teams.

Some organizations measure success solely by looking at the bottom line. At Giffels Webster, the road to success is a collaborative journey guided by our vision. Our shared vision is known as “True North”, drawing inspiration from our surveying roots. It serves a constant reminder of what we are collectively working towards.

Each day our team shows up to make a difference in the communities where we work, live, and play. Our True North is founded on our core values and guided by aspirations that help us navigate the road to success on a day-to-day basis.

Collaboration: Merging Paths

It all starts here. Strengthening relationships within our firm creates a cooperative and flexible environment. Freely sharing our team’s respective strengths and expertise fosters professional growth and leads to innovative solutions.

Employee Centered: Our Guiding Compass

Personal and professional growth are intertwined. Without one, the other is increasingly difficult to achieve. Giffels Webster strives to provide a workplace environment where our team feels both protected and valued and our decisions based on impacts to our team.

Continuous Advancement: Always Moving Forward

Comparisons to competitors or industry surveys, while useful, can lead to bad decisions. The team at Giffels Webster instead focuses on self-reflection, striving every day to be a better company than we were the day before.

Client Focused: Understanding the Goal

Our job as consultants is not simply to complete a project but rather to help our clients achieve their goals. That means discovering potential pitfalls early and completing designs that anticipate future needs.

Upward and Onward Together

Our vision and aspirations motivate our actions and create a much better environment for individual and organizational success. The Detroit Free Press Top Workplaces program serves as an opportunity to receive candid feedback and input that results in a clearer path to growth and improvement along the way.

Congratulations to our family here at Giffels Webster.
