Garver continues tradition of recognizing and rewarding employees with announcement of 2024 Spirit of Garver Award finalists
Long before Garver was first named a #1 Best Firm to Work For by Zweig Group 11 years ago, the firm understood the value of the engineers, technicians, designers, and business support personnel behind the infrastructure solutions they delivered. Taking care of employees and building a people-first culture is a fundamental part of the Garver business model.
Garver invests in employees through a generous benefits package, award-winning Wellness Program, and myriad forms of employee engagement and recognition, the most prestigious of which is the Spirit of Garver award, presented each year to employees who exemplify Garver’s values.
Spirit of Garver finalists are nominated by their peers and winners are announced in October at the firm’s yearly company-wide gathering and celebration, Garver Summit. Now hosting more than 1,000 employees from 55 offices in 19 states, Garver Summit includes team meetings, a vibrant company exposition, and a highly anticipated awards show that honors teams and individual employees.
With 11 consecutive years as a #1 Best Firm to Work For and 14 consecutive years on Zweig Group’s Hot Firm List, which recognizes the fastest growing AEC firms, it’s clear that Garver’s commitment to its people sets the firm apart. And Garver knows its success starts with passionate employees who are dedicated to their clients and communities.
This year's finalists are:
