“They make me feel like I’m a part of something bigger, I’m not seen as a number but as a person with feelings and a life outside of work. They give me the resources to gain knowledge in my field and want to see me grow within and out of the company.”
– BGBC Employee
At BGBC, we believe that people are the heart of our business. That’s why we are proud to announce that we have been recognized as one of the IndyStar’s Top Workplaces for the 6th year in a row. We placed 7th out of 66 small businesses in Indianapolis. This recognition is a testament to our commitment to putting people first and creating a positive work environment that fosters collaboration, innovation, and personal growth.
Our people-first approach is reflected in everything we do, from our leadership philosophy to our company culture and benefits package. We take a whole-person approach. According to BGBC’s managing partner Kyle Simmerman, “We take a whole-person approach to our employees, recognizing that their well-being extends beyond just their professional lives. We are honored to be recognized as a Top Workplace for the sixth year in a row, and we will continue to prioritize our employees’ mental, physical, and emotional health in addition to their professional growth.”
We believe that work should be enjoyable and fulfilling and that our employees should feel supported and encouraged to grow and develop not only professionally, but also personally.
The Top Workplaces program is conducted annually by Energage and is comprised of anonymous surveys soliciting feedback from organizations across Indiana to measure company culture and employee engagement. BGBC is proud to have scored highest among its employees with over 90% agreeing that, “New ideas are encouraged at BGBC Partners LLP.” This reflects our commitment to innovation and continuous improvement, and our belief that every employee has valuable insights and perspectives. Asked to describe BGBC’s culture in one word, most employees cited “fun,” followed by “supportive” and “encouraging” to round out the top three. This symbolizes the success of our people first, whole-person approach.
So, what does putting people first mean to us? Here are just a few of the ways we prioritize our employees:
• A culture of respect: We believe that every employee should feel seen, heard, and respected in the workplace. We promote a culture where ideas are welcome and encouraged.
• A commitment to work-life balance: We recognize that our employees have lives outside of work, and we strive to support them in achieving a healthy work-life balance. We offer flexible schedules, generous vacation time, and other benefits that prioritize the well-being of our employees.
• A focus on professional development: We are dedicated to helping our employees grow and develop professionally. Our professional development strategy includes firm-sponsored continued education opportunities, a customized coaching program and a talent development specialist that is available to all team members on guidance and assistance in achieving their professional goals.
• A collaborative and supportive team environment: We believe that the best work comes from a team that collaborates and supports one another. We encourage our employees to share their ideas and work together to achieve our common goals. We ensure that each employee is equipped with the resources and technology necessary to find success within collaboration.
These are just a few examples of how we put people first at our company, and we are grateful to our employees for their hard work and dedication. Winning a Top Workplace award for the 6th year in a row is an honor, and we are committed to continuing to prioritize our employees and create a workplace that fosters their success and well-being.
