More Than Just a Win—A Commitment to Listening
While we’re incredibly proud of this recognition, what matters most is why we participate in this process year after year. At The Walker Group, we believe that a strong culture starts with listening to our employees.
That’s why we invest in this program annually—not just to celebrate our workplace, but to actively seek employee feedback on what’s working and what needs improvement. This data isn’t just a pat on the back; it directly informs operational and HR decisions that help us enhance our workplace culture and employee experience year over year.
A Workplace You Can Feel
As co-CEO Todd Bailey puts it:
“We hear consistently among new hires how different we are from their previous employers. They often share that they could feel it early on as soon as they walked in. In fact, clients who visit our office also share the same sentiment that they can ‘just feel it.’
We are recognized as a Best Place to Work, not by accident, but by showing that each of our employees is valued. We foster collaboration and genuine teamwork, where people offer help rather than having to ask for it. When employees feel valued, comfortable being themselves around their peers, and safe to share opinions and provide direct, honest feedback, everything becomes easier. We take care of our employees, and they, in turn, take great care of our clients.
The proof is in the pudding. We've had zero employee turnover for nearly three years. If that doesn't speak volumes, I don't know what does.”
