Everything we do as a company is centered around our core values known as HUSTLE: Hard work, Unity, Success, Transparency, Learn every day, and Empathy. Our leaders are dedicated to creating an inclusive and empowering culture, which we believe is reflected from the top down with clear insight to what employees want. Our team members work hard, and we award them through recognition, events, and monetary rewards.

We are constantly working to improve the life of everyone we touch. Our leaders are truly invested in our employees and empower them in all aspects of life, both professionally and personally. To alleviate stress, we pay for every employee to have a subscription to Headspace. Our leaders encourage rest, self-care, and mindfulness in the workplace and at home. We hold wellness challenges that encourage employees to get active and online webinars so employees can learn how to process emotions in a healthy way. These efforts show our employees that their wellness, self-care, and general happiness are our priorities.

Our leadership team holds itself accountable and is committed to building our culture with measurable goals, including DEI metrics. We support eight employee resource groups and give them the funding and resources they need to have an impact. They have hosted holiday celebrations, mental health chats, roundtable discussions, fireside chats, trivia events, and more. We have also started two mentorship programs to preserve strong connections and support from leaders.

From the beginning, our company has focused on the human element of our business. We believe if we invest properly in our employees, we will create a better experience for our clients. We have a dedicated training leader who works with each employee to put together an individual development plan along with an annual $3,000 stipend for upskilling. Additionally, we offer generous benefits, host events, and promote community-focused giving. Our employees are proud to be a part of our company. Ensuring their well-being has been the key to our success and has made us a great place to work.

When employees come to work for us, they join a company where they feel valued, challenged, and inspired. Everyone's voice matters, so our environment is based on respect, empathy, and open communication. Our trust in one another translates to how we communicate with our clients and trade partners. We also believe it is important to have fun, whether it’s grabbing a coffee or heading out to the Minnesota State Fair decked out in matching T-shirts and fanny packs. Across our three offices, team members work collaboratively, with confidence and comfort.
