Great Place to Work® is the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and the leadership behaviors proven to deliver market-leading revenue, employee retention and increased innovation.

“Great Place to Work Certification™ isn’t something that comes easily – it takes ongoing dedication to the employee experience,” said Sarah Lewis-Kulin, vice president of global recognition at Great Place to Work. “It’s the only official recognition determined by employees’ real-time reports of their company culture. Earning this designation means that Suffolk is one of the best companies to work for in the country.”

“At Suffolk, we believe our people are our greatest asset – I often say we do not build buildings, we build people. To be recognized as Great Place to Work-Certified™ for the third consecutive year is a great honor and privilege for our entire organization,” said CEO and Chairman John Fish. “We owe our continued success to our employees who have helped us create a unique culture and collaborative, innovative and vibrant work environment on Suffolk jobsites and offices throughout the country. It is no accident that Suffolk continues to successfully recruit and retain some of the greatest talent in our industry.”

Suffolk weaves this employee-first attitude through its sophisticated and challenging projects, career growth opportunities, unique culture and commitment to leveraging cutting edge technologies to change the way buildings are built. The firm also builds upon its positive workplace culture through comprehensive benefits including schedule flexibility, mental healthcare and professional development as well as employee resource groups prioritizing an environment of affinity and learning. Suffolk’s Rebuild the Ratio program, the company’s commitment to increasing female representation in STEM, pledges to increase the number of women in Suffolk’s workforce by 10 percent over the next ten years and is a testament to Suffolk’s commitment to a diverse and equitable employee environment.

According to Great Place to Work research, job seekers are 4.5 times more likely to find a great boss at a Certified Great Workplace. Additionally, employees at Certified workplaces are 93 percent more likely to look forward to coming to work, and are twice as likely to be paid fairly, earn a fair share of the company’s profits and have a fair chance at promotion.
