GroundFloor Media's Culture

Editor's Notes

  • #3 Only 42% of Coloradoans are natives (Data Set: 2007-2011) People come here to enjoy what Colorado has to offer, and Colorado employers recognize that and build cultures around that.
  • #5 Boiled it down to two things: trust & team
  • #6 Trust leads to empowerment and flexibility Team includes our team members’ families/pets and the communities in which we live -Pets may sound silly, but they are important parts of our team members’ families. And they are great to have around our office!

  • #11 It doesn’t have to cost a fortune. Here are some tips.
