Better Communities Collaborative announced today that its collective of affiliate firms have been named a 2022 “Best Firm To Work For” award recipient, which honors the outstanding workplaces at AEC firms in North America. This prestigious title is awarded by the Zweig Group, an industry leader in AEC firm management and marketing, and the executive overseer of the only national “Best Firms To Work For” contest in the AEC industry. The Zweig Group is also known for managing the largest employee experience program in North America.

Firms named on Zweig Group’s list are recognized for their ability to inspire their teams to perform at the highest levels. The AEC firms selected were evaluated comprehensively on firm culture, workplace practices, employee benefits, employee retention rates, professional development, and more – from both management and staff perspectives. “The Best Firms To Work For program is a powerful view of what the employee experience looks like in today’s top AEC firms,” said Zweig Group CEO Chad Clinehens.

“The Best Firms To Work For” Awards were given in multiple categories based on firm size and discipline. In the category based on employee size from 100 to 199 employees, Better Communities Collaborative ranked #24, and in the category of Multidiscipline, the BCC ranked #39. Award recipients are noted for creating an environment where their people feel valued, can make a difference, and can see where their contribution fits into the overall mission and success of the firm.

“This award is incredible and a testament to the awesome employees that work for Better Communities Collaborative. It’s their initiative and enthusiasm for building better communities, no matter where they sit or what the project is, that is so powerful. I’m honored and humbled to be a part of this company and work beside these amazing people.”- Jon Williams, ASLA PLA, CEO and President of Better Communities Collaborative
