We’re Great Place to Work Certified—And Here’s What That Really Means

 

We have some thrilling news to share: K2M Design has officially earned the prestigious Great Place to Work Certification™! This is a significant achievement that we all can take pride in.

But here’s the thing—this isn’t just another plaque for the wall or a badge for our website (though we’re definitely adding that badge). This recognition means something much more significant: it’s proof that we’re building the kind of workplace we all want to be part of.

What Is Great Place to Work Certification?

You might be wondering what precisely this certification means. Unlike many workplace awards that rely on applications or self-reported data, Great Place to Work Certification is based entirely on anonymous feedback from our employees. That means the people who work here every day, across all departments, all levels, had their say about what it’s really like to work at K2M Design.

This year, 90% of our team members said K2M Design is a great place to work. To put that in perspective, that’s only a 5% difference from the average of U.S. Best Small & Medium Workplaces. Even more powerful? 100% of our employees agree that K2M treats all employees fairly—regardless of race, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. That kind of consensus doesn’t happen by accident. It reflects our unwavering commitment to equity, respect, and belonging at every level of the organization.

Great Place to Work® is the global authority on workplace culture, and earning this Certification means we’ve met its rigorous standards for creating an exceptional employee experience.

“This recognition matters because it comes from our people,” states Steve Grasley, CEO of K2M Design. “It tells me that trust, relationships, and purpose match our drive for excellence, which we continue to foster. That is a true high-performance culture.”

What Makes K2M Design Stand Out

So what exactly makes K2M Design a great place to work? Here are some of the things our team told us matter most:

Flexibility: We provide a flexible work schedule and an open paid time off (PTO) policy, along with various options for remote and hybrid work.

Trust: We cultivate a high level of trust among our employees, empowering them to complete their work with minimal oversight. For instance, we encourage open communication, provide autonomy in decision-making, and offer support for personal and professional development.

Why This Matters for Job Seekers

If you’re reading this and thinking about your next career move, here’s something worth noting: according to Great Place to Work research, job seekers are 4.5 times more likely to find a great boss at a Certified workplace. Employees at Certified companies are also:

• 93% more likely to look forward to coming to work
• Twice as likely to be paid fairly
• Twice as likely to earn a fair share of company profits
• Twice as likely to have a fair chance at promotion

We’re Just Getting Started

While we’re incredibly proud of this achievement, we’re not resting on our laurels. We see this Certification as a milestone, not a finish line. Our commitment to continuous improvement, listening to feedback, and making K2M Design an even better place to work is unwavering.
