Best Culture Page: Acceleration Partners

A culture page highlighting core values AND employee spotlights?! We love to see it! This is definitely not the norm (yet) so kudos for having all this info in one place and for showcasing your team members. P.S: We dig your hashtag #TheAPWay.

GoodSeeker Tip: Is your company in a hiring surge? Consider creating a culture page as rad as Acceleration Partners. 

Best Employee Testimonials: Northland Investment Corporation

Got employee testimonials? BAM! Northland Investment Corporation sure does. Sharing testimonials gives prospective employees a better glimpse into a company’s culture. They’re also more personable as they help put faces to the employees names even before Day 1 on the job. 

GoodSeeker Tip: Add employee testimonials (and stories) to your careers to page to demystify who works behind the scenes at the company! 

Best Day in A Life Video: BDSMktg

Love getting to walk through a typical day at BDSMktg with Nikki! Very helpful and informative. It gave me a better sense of what her position entails! 

GoodSeeker Tip: Consider creating a day-in-the-life video for several employees at your company. If you don’t have the budget to hire a camera crew, try having them do an Instagram take-over on a weekday where they take photos and videos of their typical day. Save the stories and voilà - you have a saved video to share to your careers page! 

Best Employee of the Month Series: Ashford Communities 

We love seeing employees be appreciated for their hard work! It’s so creative that you call your employees “The Ashfordians” as it shows how they really are part of a team! Learn more by visiting their about us page, career page, and blog! Even view their homes here.

At Ashford, we prioritize building a sense of community. Especially in the midst of a pandemic, we want to make sure the people who work for us are happy because it provides customers with better service. We want to have a nice environment so that when people wake up, they look forward to coming to work. If employees know that their work environment is supportive, we’re a better place to work. - Amita Kumar, Regional Property Supervisor

From day one LP has shown a dedication to investing in our people, and ultimately, the trajectory of our organization is reflected in the success of our employees. When a new employee starts at LP we want for it to be more than job, but rather a career they are proud of, in an environment they can collaborate and feel valued in. With this in mind we’ve seen countless employees build long-lasting careers and develop a plentiful toolkit of knowledge. It’s that toolkit that sparks new innovative ideas and leads to new advancements within the organization. At the end of the day it’s our people that propel LP forward. Being with the company for 5 years now, I’ve had the chance to watch our company grow quickly, but I’ve also gotten to watch my peers start new departments, develop new techniques and processes, and become leaders before my eyes. We have harnessed a strong internal education system, but also understand that great ideas come from all levels and all directions – our open-door approach to new suggestions has been key to getting us to where we are today and will be important moving forward. Finally, employee success is one thing,  but employee satisfaction is another that we focus on with an equal emphasis. Our commitment to doing right by our people and striving to make LP’ers proud of where they work is truly what leads to the greater success of all.  
- Emmy Thomas, Manager of Employee Experience

GoodSeeker Tip: Creating a page/section featuring prospective employees while also showing appreciation for current employees is like getting the best of both worlds! Ask yourself: Does my career page look like this?
