Culture is at the core of EVO Business Environments’ operations; with “No Drama” and “No Ineptitude” guarantees and a primary goal of “enjoy coming to work,” the design firm has grown steadily since 2013, with its young staff — 30% of its workforce is Gen Z — leading the way.
The company is committed to mutual respect, positivity and creating an optimistic, dynamic work environment. Regular meetings with the CEO give employees at every level the opportunity to contribute meaningfully outside their roles by sharing ideas and feedback.
Benefits help shore up the culture. EVO pays 100% of premiums for employee health, dental and vision coverage, along with life and disability coverage, creating a comprehensive safety net that’s unique among small businesses. Work-life balance is also valued; employees start off with three weeks of paid-time off and after five years earn an extra week. After 10 years, employees are entitled to a two-week sabbatical that won’t count against their PTO.
“Like what we do, our company is everything beautiful and functional,” CEO Chris Cerrato says.
