At Bigos Management, we believe that the success of our company is deeply rooted in the strength of our team and the values that guide us. This year, we are proud to announce that we have been recognized as a Star Tribune Top Workplace for the 10th consecutive year. This remarkable achievement is a testament to the dedication, hard work, and commitment of every member of the Bigos team. In this blog, we will explore how our core values of Relationships, Quality, Responsibility, and Development have shaped our workplace into a positive and thriving environment.
One of the pillars of our success at Bigos Management is the emphasis we place on building strong relationships. We understand that a supportive and collaborative work environment is essential for both personal and professional growth. Our commitment to fostering meaningful connections extends beyond our employees to include our residents, partners, and the broader community.
Our employees are encouraged to build and nurture relationships with one another, fostering a sense of camaraderie and teamwork. This collaborative spirit not only enhances our work culture but also drives our success as a company. By prioritizing relationships, we create a supportive network where everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute their best.
Quality is at the heart of everything we do at Bigos Management. From the properties we develop and manage to the services we provide to our residents, we strive for excellence in every aspect of our work. Our commitment to quality is reflected in the meticulous attention to detail and the high standards we set for ourselves.
This dedication to quality is not only about meeting expectations, but exceeding them. We continually seek ways to improve and innovate, ensuring that our properties remain top-tier and our services unparalleled. Our employees play a crucial role in maintaining these high standards, and their passion for excellence is a driving force behind our continued recognition as a Top Workplace.
At Bigos Management, we take our responsibilities seriously. Whether it’s our responsibility to our employees, residents, or our community, we are committed to making a positive impact. That’s why we have seven employee-lead committees. Our Bigos Gives Back committee strives to give back to the community by going good, sharing resources, and volunteering. Our DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) Committee commits its time to ensuring our company culture is inclusive, educated, and welcoming.
We believe that being a responsible employer means creating a work environment where our employees feel safe, respected, and supported. We invest in their well-being, offering competitive benefits, opportunities for professional development, and a work-life balance that promotes overall health and happiness.
Development is a core value that drives our company forward. We understand that the growth and development of our employees are essential to our long-term success. At Bigos Management, we provide numerous opportunities for our team members to learn, grow, and advance in their careers, including an annual internal Leadership Conference where we learn how to be better leaders for our teams.
We offer a variety of training programs, workshops, and mentorship opportunities designed to enhance skills and foster professional growth. We demonstrate this sense of mentorship through our Maintenance-In-Training program, where those interested in Maintenance can be mentored by an established Maintenance Technician and can eventually be hired on after they learn the ropes. By investing in our employees’ development, we not only ensure their success but also the continued success of Bigos Management.
Effective communication is a cornerstone of our positive workplace culture. We believe that open and transparent communication between corporate and property teams is essential for fostering trust and collaboration. At Bigos Management, we prioritize clear and consistent communication to ensure that everyone is aligned with our goals and values.
Regular meetings, feedback sessions, and open-door policies are just a few of the ways we promote effective communication. By creating channels for open dialogue, we empower our employees to share their ideas, concerns, and successes. This level of communication not only enhances our work environment but also drives our collective success.
What makes our recognition as a Star Tribune Top Workplace even more meaningful is that it is based on feedback from our own employees. The Top Workplaces program is built on the belief that “the most successful companies are the ones that employees believe in.” The survey, conducted by Energage, measures various aspects of workplace culture, including employee engagement, organizational health, and overall satisfaction.
Our employees’ positive feedback highlights the strength of our workplace culture and the impact of our core values. It is their voices that have earned us this prestigious recognition for the 10th year in a row, and we are immensely grateful for their trust and dedication.
As we celebrate this incredible milestone, we are reminded of the importance of staying true to our core values: Relationships, Quality, Responsibility, and Development. These values have not only shaped our workplace culture but have also been instrumental in our success as a company.
At Bigos Management, we are committed to continuing this legacy of excellence and fostering an environment where our employees feel valued, supported, and inspired. We are proud to be recognized as a Star Tribune Top Workplace for the 10th consecutive year, and we look forward to many more years of success and growth.
Thank you to our dedicated team for making Bigos Management a truly exceptional place to work. Your hard work and commitment are the driving forces behind our continued success. Together, we will continue to build a brighter future for our company and our community.
