Glavé & Holmes Architecture is honored to be recognized as a 2013 Top Workplace by the Richmond Times-Dispatch and WorkplaceDynamics.

The Top Workplaces program was set-up to recognize companies that have a great work environment, with results based solely on employee feedback. The employee survey is conducted by WorkplaceDynamics, a leading research firm on organizational health and employee engagement. WorkplaceDynamics looked at many factors, including employee engagement, encouragement of community involvement, and work/life balance.

Glavé & Holmes had a 96 percent response rate to the survey. According to feedback from the survey, our employees believe that the G&HA operates by strong values and ethics. They also feel that the firm is going in the right direction and have confidence in the leaders. Glavé & Holmes was one of 50 companies in the Richmond area to make the list.

“I feel like the luckiest person in the world working at this office with such great people,” said Lori Garrett, Director of the Higher Education Studio. “I knew from school that I loved architecture, but didn’t realize until I got my first job how much the people I work with affect the success and satisfaction of my work. My colleagues at Glavé & Holmes not only make me a better architect, but also make my day-to-day work more enjoyable!”

Richmond SHRM, a chapter of the national Society for Human Resource Management, honored all 50 of Richmond’s Top Workplaces at the Sterling Workplace Awards event. The Richmond Times-Dispatch published the complete list of Top Workplaces. For more information about the Top Workplaces, please visit www.timesdispatch.com/special-section/top-work-places.
