RICHMOND, VIRGINIA: Cushman & Wakefield | Thalhimer has been awarded a 2017 Top Workplaces honor by The Richmond Times-Dispatch. The Top Workplaces lists are based solely on the results of an employee feedback survey administered by WorkplaceDynamics, LLC, a leading research firm that specializes in organizational health and workplace improvement. Several aspects of workplace culture were measured, including Alignment, Execution, and Connection, just to name a few.
“The Top Workplaces award is not a popularity contest. And oftentimes, people assume it’s all about fancy perks and benefits.” says Doug Claffey, CEO of WorkplaceDynamics. “But to be a Top Workplace, organizations must meet our strict standards for organizational health. And who better to ask about work life than the people who live the culture every day—the employees. Time and time again, our research has proven that what’s most important to them is a strong belief in where the organization is headed, how it’s going to get there, and the feeling that everyone is in it together. Claffey adds, “Without this sense of connection, an organization doesn’t have a shot at being named a Top Workplace.”
Cushman & Wakefield | Thalhimer’s President and CEO Lee Warfield stated, ““We strive to make Thalhimer a successful organization and a great place to work for all associates. Success is not measured in just financial terms. Our goal is to create an environment where our associates enjoy their work and the people they work with.  Our ESOP ownership model contributes to this environment. Our associates are owners in the business and take pride in what they do.”
