Additional Culture Details
In our culture, ownership means shared responsibility, engagement, and reward.
Responsibility: Our owners elect our board of directors and officers each year. The decisions each employee makes have an impact that will affect not only themselves but everyone at Spalding DeDecker. We empower everyone to work smart and make decisions as an owner.
Engagement: As an owner, we must be fully engaged in our approach to our lives, our professions, and our company. Reward: The fruits of our success are shared across our entire employment base.
Reward: The profits of the company aren't going to "the man" in the corner office and instead are returned to employees through added stock value, bonuses, generous benefits, and a comfortable work environment. We celebrate our success with frequent barbecues, socials, a wide range of "lunch and learn" sessions, and after-work activities. We are also a corporate puppy-raising partner with Leader Dogs for the Blind based here in Rochester Hills Michigan, and our puppy is a Yellow Lab named Ginny, short for Engineer.
