Our Culture
Cool Projects. Great People.
We asked some of those amazing people what they like most about working at LJB, plus a few other questions. Hear from them below.
What You’ll Find at LJB
A Supportive Work Environment
At LJB, we speak freely, have the liberty to explore new ideas, and ask questions others don’t ask. Mutual respect among co-workers inspires collaboration and creativity, and we’re not afraid to take risks to develop the right solution for our clients.
A Focus on Professional Development
We challenge our professionals to cross-train, work with a diverse client base, collaborate with other professional disciplines, learn from internal and external mentors, and seek continuing education. LJB University, the firm’s training and development unit, provides employees and clients with continuing education opportunities.
An Appreciation for Work-Life Balance
Every LJBer is unique and has his or her distinct interests and passions—both inside and outside the workplace. We work. We play. We serve. We pray. We share time with our families. Some of us coach. Others mentor and teach. Some of us play music. Others sing. And some of us just like to listen. We are known for our flexibility, family friendliness and appreciation for work-life balance—to allow our employees to be wholly who they are.
A Spirit of Curiosity
At LJB, we are intellectually curious. It is important to understand the core needs and challenges our clients face, because when we seek to understand, we can provide practical and creative innovations that improve the quality of our clients’ lives. Curiosity leads to discovery, which can bring great joy to our work and real results for our clients.
A Sense of Community
Communities are made up of people and relationships. No one can own a community; however, each of us influences the culture of it. We are all stewards of our LJB community and its unique culture. We challenge our team members to think about how each of us would like LJB to look and feel, and then think about what we, individually, can and will do to create that vision.
Young Professionals Network
LJB supports a Young Professionals Network to engage, connect, develop, and empower young professionals (35 and under) by providing career development, networking, mentoring and educational opportunities.
Employee-Run Committees
LJB supports four employee-run committees that focus on areas that matter to our team members:
Safety
Providing training opportunities, spot-on safety tips and more, the safety committee helps ensure a safe and healthy work environment for all.
Social
The social committee ensures that we have opportunities to get together outside of our client work, whether we’re celebrating accomplishments, competing at sports or just hanging out.
Sustainability
Through education, events and activities such as establishing a community garden, the sustainability committee helps us focus on being responsible stewards of resources.
Well-being
This committee helps meet the needs of our whole selves by providing events, resources and communications that promote positive health and well-being.
