J.F. Brennan Company (Brennan) is proud to announce that it has been Certified™ by Great Place To Work® for the ninth consecutive year. This recognition reflects Brennan’s long-standing commitment to fostering a culture where employees feel safe, valued, supported, and empowered.
This year’s certification marks a milestone, with 113 more employees participating in the survey than ever before. With over 80% of team members responding, results showed that 87% of employees agree Brennan is a Great Place To Work, a score 30 points higher than the average US company.
“We work hard to create the type of place where people want to spend their careers,” says President and CEO Matt Binsfeld. “Capturing our team’s feedback and using it as an opportunity to improve Brennan is a key component in keeping our culture vibrant and relevant. We are, of course, thankful to once again be named a Great Place to Work, but even more so, we are thankful for the overwhelming participation and feedback of our team, which feeds the continual improvement process.”
Great Place To Work Certification is based on anonymous employee feedback collected through a detailed survey that evaluates workplace culture on multiple dimensions, including credibility, respect, fairness, pride, and camaraderie.
“By successfully earning this recognition, it is evident that Brennan stands out as one of the top companies to work for, providing a great workplace environment for its employees," says Sarah Lewis-Kulin, the Vice President of Global Recognition at Great Place To Work.
Looking ahead, Brennan will continue to analyze employee insights and take action to further strengthen its workplace culture. By listening to employees and focusing on safety, trust, and teamwork, Brennan aims to ensure that every team member feels proud of the work they do and the company they represent.
“Our people are at the heart of everything we do. The Great Place to Work program is more than a survey. It’s our opportunity to listen deeply, to truly hear voices, and to take meaningful action. The feedback we receive guides us in creating an environment where everyone feels valued, supported, and empowered to thrive. We’re committed not just to asking, but to listening and responding with care, because together we build the workplace we all deserve, says Brennan’s Chief Human Capital Officer Janelle Pogodzinski.
Brennan’s Great Place to Work survey results are publicly available on our Great Place To Work Profile.
