NFP prides itself on fostering an inclusive, supportive, and diverse “people-first culture” from recruitment to retirement. The company invests in seeking out new hires from underrepresented groups and fosters learning and leadership skills for all employees throughout their time at NFP. Their benefits offer support above and beyond the usual coverage, including services to help team members care for mental health, well-being, fertility, and family planning.

The company also provides ample opportunities for fun: as one example from last year, they sponsored an Indy 500 car and hosted a day at the racetrack for staff, who saw driving practice and met the driver for the NFP car.

Employees at MCM CPAs & Advisors LLP live by their core values: “People Matter. Excellence Rules. Leaders Inspire.” Their leadership puts people first, and that means prioritizing flexibility, offering opportunities for professional development, and providing thought leadership. Staff embody these values outside of the office, too, and frequently serve as board members, committee chairs, and volunteers for local community organizations.

Fostering a relaxed and casual environment, the Fun Committee at MCM plans monthly appreciation events that range from thanksgiving potlucks, chili cookoffs, office trick-or-treating with their children, cornhole tournaments, and cookie deliveries.

The employees at First Merchants are full of purpose. Their diverse and dynamic team aims to be known, trusted, and active in their community. They give back in a variety of ways, including fun fundraising efforts in the office and days where staff are paid to take a day off to volunteer.

First Merchants shows appreciation for their employees through awards and events and encourages peers to show appreciation for each other, too. They offer support to help staff enhance both physical and financial well-being. Leadership believes in promoting from within and provides advanced leadership development and mentoring programs to help employees achieve success and realize their career goals.
