I am especially proud that their recognition isn’t just for hybrid work, free lunch, and fun outings – it reflects high-performance, high-engagement cultures that create the best place to work for the best people. What’s even more remarkable is that these firms are on incredible growth trajectories, and maintaining culture as you grow is a significant leadership challenge. The Ascend Culture Model gives our firms a strategic framework and roadmap for enhancing their culture as they endeavor to expand their impact on their clients, their people, and their communities,” said David Wurtzbacher, Founder & CEO of Ascend.
