FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich.,
Dec. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/
-- An intentional effort to advance workplace culture has resulted
in GreenPath Financial Wellness earning three significant talent
awards in the last 10 months. Each award honors GreenPath for its
workplace culture and practices.
GreenPath is a national, nonprofit organization that has made a
strategic pivot from primarily providing financial crisis support
to a much broader view of financial wellness that meets people's
needs at every stage of life.
To reach this goal, GreenPath has created a cultural shift
embracing empathy and compassion that is expressed outwardly to its
clients. GreenPath promotes a supportive culture that cares for the
emotional wellness of it staff. For example, the company offers a
rest and relaxation room, Wellness Wednesdays, coffee chats with
the CEO, and courses aimed at personal and professional growth.
GreenPath's recent awards reflect these efforts.
In January, GreenPath was named to the national Companies That
Care Honor Roll. One of only 11 companies on the list, GreenPath
was recognized for its workplace practices and community
involvement in education, diversity and inclusion.
In August, GreenPath earned a spot as a Best Place to Work for
Recent College Grads. GreenPath was one of 25 companies named to
the national list. It was evaluated on six criteria: pay,
benefits, professional development opportunities, work-life
balance, company culture, and employee ratings
on Glassdoor.
In November, GreenPath was honored in the mid-size category in
the Detroit Free Press Top Workplaces 2017 competition. Companies
are independently evaluated based on employee nominations and
survey results.
"We dedicate tremendous resources to building a supportive,
empathic workplace that enables staff to grow in their careers and
succeed in life," said Danielle
Crane, chief talent officer at GreenPath. "We are beyond
thrilled to earn these awards that recognize and validate our
intense focus on workplace culture."
Currently, GreenPath is training its leaders and client-facing
team members on judgement-free communication techniques. The
organization has found that this approach helps their clients feel
more supported and comfortable, and therefore more likely to speak
freely about their finances. Judgement-free communication also
fosters a more positive and productive workplace.
"I'm so impressed with our staff. They see themselves in our
organization's mission, and they are figuring out how to
personalize their approach in ways that work for each client," said
Kristen Holt, president and CEO at
GreenPath. "Our culture change is successful because of the
strength and commitment of our people."
