I believe one of the challenges every company faces is understanding what they are doing right when it comes to attracting and retaining great employees 👥
Leadership teams spend a lot of time thinking about culture, flexibility, interesting work, and professional growth — but sometimes the most direct way to understand what truly matters is simply to ask the people who are part of the organization every day 💭
With that in mind, I recently asked our team a straightforward question:
“Why do you enjoy working at Rubber City Engineering & Environmental?” ❓
The responses were thoughtful, honest, and reflective of the diverse group of professionals who make up our company.
Our team includes full-time engineers and designers, part-time professionals, and even a few experienced retirees who still enjoy contributing their expertise. That mix of perspectives is one of the things that makes our firm unique 🧠
Below are a few of the responses I received (shared with permission): 💬
Reading these responses was both humbling and encouraging. It reinforced that while projects, deadlines, and technical challenges are part of what we do every day, the people, and the environment we create together are what truly define a company 🤝
I’m grateful for the talented group of professionals who choose to be part of Rubber City Engineering & Environmental and for the experience, perspective, and personality each person brings to our work. They are the reason we are able to do what we do 👏
Sometimes the best insights about a company’s culture come directly from the people who live it every day.
