We are beyond thrilled to announce that Topel Forman has been recognized as a Top Workplace for the third year in a row! This prestigious award, celebrated through the Chicago Tribune, is especially meaningful to us because it’s based on feedback directly from our team members. Their participation in the survey is a testament to the culture we’ve built together, rooted in respect, collaboration, and a genuine desire to achieve excellence together.

Our people-first culture is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that when our team members thrive, so does our organization. This award reflects the commitment we make every day to create a workplace that prioritizes both professional growth and personal well-being. Our leadership’s dedication to fostering an environment where everyone feels supported and valued has been a key driver in maintaining our status as a top employer.

Some of the benefits that help us stand out as a Top Workplace include:

  • Flexible Scheduling: We know that life doesn’t always happen within standard working hours. Our team has the flexibility they need to balance their work and personal lives.
  • Remote/Hybrid Work Options: Whether our team members prefer working from home, in the office, or a mix of both, we support them with options that meet their individual needs.
  • Mentorship and Career Pathing: We offer a mentorship program and career development opportunities to empower our team members to choose their own career paths and reach their full potential.
  • Leadership That Cares: Our leadership team is dedicated to the success and well-being of every team member, fostering a culture of open communication, support, and empathy.
  • Day One Parental Leave: Supporting families is essential to our values, which is why we provide parental leave from day one, helping new parents transition smoothly into this important stage of life.
  • Fringe Benefits: From wellness reimbursements to pet insurance and access to wellness apps like Calm and other wellness initiatives we aim to support our team’s well-being in all aspects of life.

We look forward to building on this recognition and continuing to cultivate a workplace that not only attracts top talent but also nurtures growth and fosters long-term commitment. As we continue to expand, we remain dedicated to upholding the values and culture that have earned us this recognition.

Thank you to each and every member of our team for your contribution to this incredible achievement! Here’s to another fantastic year of growth, success, and putting people first.
