Story #74 - Showing Up

Story #74 is a reflection on the way our team shows up for each other.

Beyond the company parties and picnics, there are other things that contribute to the overall culture of an organization and make it a place that people want to be a part of. As we look back over the past 90 years, examples of this supportive, friendly, positive culture shine through. We’ve shared stories in our series of our family-oriented dynamic, and our leadership that sets the example of a great place to work.

From group outings at the ballfield and bus trips to New York to making Gingerbread houses, throughout the years we’ve truly become a team that not only works together but creates memories together, enjoys company of each other, and shares joy with one another.

But it isn’t just the coordinated events that bring is together. It’s time and time again when our team has shown up for each other - from wearing red to remember a co-worker, to taking over the phone system to give our administrative team a day-off, to washing cars (even when you’re a manager), and so much more. SSM has always been a firm that does great things - not just for our clients, but for our people.
