How about that? Four years straight! Culture is king and consistency is paramount to the mission.

Can confirm, well earned :)

21 years in a Row is an incredible accomplishment! I can proudly say Baird is the best company I have ever worked with. Making the career change leap was terrifying but it has been without a doubt, the best professional decision I've ever made. #privatewealthmanagement #Financialadvice #investing #retirement

I paused after reading this, the 3rd entry from Jeff Pope's “Ten Things I Think I’ve Learned.” I personally have spent most of my Insights career at large companies, and of course I started small (Jeff and Judy’s CRI). To me the leadership and culture—direct and at the top levels—is more important than the size of the company. I love the global reach, R&D power, breadth of offers, etc. that I find at large company Ipsos. But I see Jeff’s point, and am interested in how others see the topic. ************************* For me, it’s been easier to find what I wanted in small companies. I’ve worked for two of the largest organizations in the world (KPMG Peat Marwick and Pillsbury) and two small firms (CRI and Elrick & Lavidge, my first job). Experience in the big companies was valuable, but it wasn’t where I wanted to invest my life. I like life in a small company where you can… * Know everyone’s name * Understand the whole business * Know and see how your contribution makes a difference And working with large, well known clients give us the best of both worlds: we have impact on highly visible products and services, but we get to work within a small company environment.

Congratulations to all companies in the Hoosier State who were named Best Places to Work. Reflecting on #MoralesGroup being named this year, I thought about 'why' our Teammates granted us this honor... And after spending most of Q1 interviewing potential Operational and Professional Recruitment Leaders, I continued to hear the same feedback as to 'why' they want to join #MoralesGroup... I get a sense of the answer... 👩❤️👨 Our People: We are led by and surrounded by a metric-ton of people who TRULY CARE about each other, about what we do - with everyone always wanting the best for one-another. 🏞 Our Mission: There is a reason WHY we are here, and 'do what we do' - and it's BIGGER than all of us. That resonates more than we know. 👁️🗨️ Vision: We're growth-minded, future-driven, and see beyond the horizon line. Our dedication to continued GROWTH has never wavered. 🌈 🍾 Culture: As Leaders, we're not perfect - but our relentless focus on being better for our PEOPLE has never wavered. We're proud of what has been built --- serving our communities, never-ending focus on diversity, living our core values, and employee engagement. While always acknowleding that our BEST is yet to come. #BestPlacestoWOrk #BuildingBetterFutures

🚀 Approaching my first 90 days at LinkedIn and it has been a whirlwind! Time has flown by, packed with A LOT of learning and some amazing experiences. Grateful for the warm welcome and support from everyone across the company. Ramping a new leader can be taxing but no one has let on to that (yet). Quite the opposite in fact. It feels like I've been here longer than just a quarter, yet my daily discovery of new acronyms continues to remind me of my newcomer status… 🌟 Highlights so far: •𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦: From the Bay Area to Chicago, New York, and Toronto, meeting our team across North America has been truly inspiring. I refuse to pick a favorite (how could I?) even though some teams have applied pressure to do so. •𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞: Each office visit has only deepened my appreciation and understanding for our company culture. A standout moment was a heartfelt session with our Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging leaders in Toronto. Hearing their stories and passion firsthand was both moving and motivating. •𝐂𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: Spending time with our team and customers has been a blast. Having recently been a customer myself, it's been rewarding and fun to be on the other side of the table, helping our customers grow their businesses. 🎯 Wrapping up the Quarter Strong: •Today marks the end of both the quarter and fiscal year, and the energy and winning vibes are palpable. It's been fulfilling to see so many exceed expectations and grow together as a team. Packing up all this momentum to take with us into the new fiscal year.

Congratulations Agree Realty Corporation on being one of our 2024 CRE's Best Places to Work! 🎉 The best place to work is more than benefits packages, compensation and flexibility. Although all the aforementioned matter, we also considered examples set by corporate leadership, the company's spirit to giving back, and the affection employees help at these firms.
