Gresham Smith has been named one of the Birmingham Business Journal’s 2022 Best Places to Work. Based on feedback from local employees when surveyed about the firm’s workplace policies and culture, communication, engagement, trust in leadership, and other factors, Gresham Smith earned this honor for the third consecutive year.
“As a multi-market firm, we know that our commitment to our employees is how we can foster a world-class culture where everyone is successful. Culture is one of the lenses through which we measure our success,” said Gresham Smith CEO Rodney Chester. “We empower our employees to reach their highest potential, and that has been reflected in this distinguished recognition.”
