Greenman-Pedersen Inc. (GPI) believes the best infrastructure projects begin with great people. That philosophy shapes both the company’s work and a workplace culture where employee satisfaction is a strategic priority.
GPI is a 100% employee-owned engineering firm whose mission, “Together, we create the infrastructure people need most,” is built around One TEAM: Together, Engaged, Ambitious and Mobile.
The firm’s collaborative culture emphasizes communication, transparency and teamwork. Employees receive annual career development meetings, real-time feedback and access to leadership through an open-door policy. Staff also help shape the workplace.
Following a recent engagement survey, leadership implemented a four-point action plan that included compensation adjustments and department “fun budgets” for employee appreciation events and social activities.
Employees are encouraged to pursue continuing education and certifications, while a buddy program helps new hires integrate into the organization. Managers focus career discussions on employees’ interests and long-term goals, rather than simply evaluating performance.
GPI’s employee-owned structure reinforces a shared sense of purpose, while benefits support flexibility and well-being. Employees can work remotely up to two days per week, have flexible schedules and participate in wellness programs including walking challenges. GPI also offers a 401(k) with a 100% company match on the first 4% of employee contributions.
All employees are eligible for discretionary bonuses when annual performance goals are achieved. Professional registration bonuses, referral incentives, anniversary awards and office-specific recognition programs, including Employee of the Quarter, provide additional rewards.
