“We hear it over and over again from the fast-growing businesses we cover: The biggest challenge that any business owner faces is finding and keeping the best people. That’s why building a workplace culture that allows your staff to grow with your company is absolutely crucial,” explains Inc.’s President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. “Recipients of the Inc. Best Workplaces Awards have done so in spades. They should be celebrated and emulated.”

“The entire Field Team is fired up about receiving the Inc. Best Workplace Award” stated Field President, Jim Derry. “It is gratifying that people outside of Field recognize the uniqueness and power of our culture.  Field’s culture is a competitive advantage and has fueled our 20% annual growth rate over the past 25 years, including the past 5 years on the Inc. 5000 list.  The culture is based on our shared Core Vales & Mission statement of “To have everyone how interacts with us, LOVE us.”  We strive to create an environment that allows our team members to thrive in their professional and personal lives while treating each other as a family.”
