“Cripe is experiencing

high growth and our

key goal is to keep

leadership development,

technical training and

workload management

as top of mind practices

for 2017. Our

corporate initiatives –

top line growth; streamlining; and recruitment/

retention of top talent – are even more

important as we embrace growth, new staff

and new opportunities. We know these three

corporate initiatives have helped us become

and improve our Best Places to Work culture

in good times and bad – allowing us to take

our work seriously, but not so much ourselves.”

President, COO

Cripe

Blue & Co. takes its ranking on the Best Places to Work

list very seriously. We recognize that our people are what

make us unique. They make us who we are. We think that

listening carefully to the feedback of your workforce and acting

on it in a thoughtful and meaningful way provides the foundation

for your company to become an employer of choice.

As part of this, we use the information gathered from

the Best Places to Work surveys to gauge areas for process

improvements throughout the firm. We address each

suggestion in addition to seeking further feedback that

highlights specific operational and cultural matters.

Blue’s leadership team publicly talks through all feedback during our Town Hall

meetings each year, no matter how difficult the conversation. The firm views this candid

dialogue with employees as a valuable opportunity for improvement and education.

In addition to listening to our people, we also pride ourselves on creating a

culture of caring through our active support of community initiatives in each office.

We work hard to create a firm in which people feel connected to one another

through business and social interactions and opportunities to show gratitude to one

another both personally and publicly.

In addition to these items, Blue & Co. provides award winning training for its

employees and encourages its professionals to strive for continual growth and

development. While this is just a short list of the many things Blue & Co. does to

enhance its work environment, we think that these are some of the most important

and vibrant ways to create a Best Place to Work.

Best Place to Work is …
