Creating a rewarding and supportive workplace is a cornerstone of success in any industry, including commercial real estate. The Taylor Johnson team recently had the opportunity to share examples of this from leading CRE firms as we assisted several clients with nominations for GlobeSt.’s “CRE’s Best Places to Work” recognition for 2025, showcasing programs, initiatives and best practices that result in high levels of employee satisfaction and have a direct impact on overall company performance. We are proud — but not surprised — to say three TJ clients were among the firms honored by GlobeSt. this year: GI Stone, with its “pay it forward” philosophy that drives hiring from underserved communities and mentorship for every new employee; Draper and Kramer, Incorporated, which formalized the “DK Way,” an approach to work rooted in the ownership mindset the firm’s culture has instilled across all levels of the company; and NAI Hiffman | Hiffman National, where “Hiffman U” offers team members ongoing professional development opportunities. Congratulations to all three on this recognition!
