How do employees drive your corporate culture? First, employees offer regular feedback to leadership through culture assessments, which influence the decisions and operations of the firm. Second, Willmeng’s emphasis on the importance of community involvement is a main factor in team members’ deep bonds with one another. The company’s blog-style website showcases more than 40 posts that highlight team involvement at community related events. Third, Willmeng puts the health of employees and of their families as a priority. Last, the incredible work of each employee drives company culture. This is made evident at the firm’s annual retreat where employees are recognized and appreciated for their work in the industry as well as the community.
What is the one perk that you believe exemplifies a Best Place to Work? An annual, all-expenses-paid, mid-year retreat in Northern Arizona. All employees and their families are invited to a two-day trip full of horseback riding, fishing, games and employee recognition. Willmeng hosts an award ceremony and events throughout the weekend for adults. Children have activities and entertainment of their own.
What does it mean to achieve Best Places to Work status? To Willmeng, achieving Best Place to Work status means that our employees love our company and want us to do well because they believe in our values and what we’re all about. Being a Best Place to Work is formal recognition that we’re doing it right.
