Three cool things:
- Diversity, equity and inclusion courses at PPM cover leadership, which focuses on leaders’ roles in building an inclusive workplace and the benefits of inclusion for associates, as well as how to maintain a respectful workplace by identifying and preventing workplace discrimination and harassment.
- Counselors and consultants available through the firm’s employee assistance program can help staff and their families with stress and burnout, work conflicts, marital and family issues, time management, caregiving resources, and debt management and budgeting.
- PPM holds “Facts and Snacks” sessions so that staff can learn more about different departments at the firm; it also holds chat sessions with the CEO and COO.
Employees say:
- “It’s a small but smart group of people. You know that the people you are working with are competent in what they do. There is a work hard, play hard attitude at the company. Hard/good work is rewarded by praise, and not with additional workload.”
- “There are open lines of communication with everyone. PPM has a very collaborative environment that respects input from different sources. PPM has demonstrated the ability to quickly adapt.”
- “PPM promotes a unified, positive culture. At the end of the day, its core strength is its people, who are some of the most sincere and kind co-workers I’ve ever had the chance to work alongside.”
