CHICAGO, Aug. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- G.H. Smart & Company, LLC, a preeminent Leadership Advisory firm, earned certification by Great Place to Work®, the global authority on workplace culture. This was the first year ghSMART participated in the qualifying Trust Index© Employee Survey, earning Certified™ recognition on their first attempt.

Ninety-six percent of ghSMART employees think that ghSMART is a great place to work compared to 57% of typical US-based companies.

Founder and Chairman, Dr. Geoff H. Smart shared his enthusiasm, "Twenty-seven years ago, I set-out to build a special kind of firm where wildly-talented and good-hearted people could do meaningful work by solving some of the highest-stake leadership challenges in the world while still having a balanced life outside of work. I think our colleagues' feedback celebrates our success in building a firm with a rewarding and flexible culture."

Ninety-nine percent of ghSMART employees surveyed agreed, 'When I look at what we accomplish, I feel a sense of pride.' The same 99% agree, 'People care about each other here.' And over 90% feel 'encouraged to balance their work and personal lives.'

President Jeff McLean reacted, "I am especially proud to be recognized as a great place to work as the certification is based entirely on team member feedback. It reflects our colleagues' real experiences working at ghSMART. I work with incredibly talented colleagues who have a deep commitment to each other and to our clients. And it is a privilege to work with those clients, some of the world's most influential leaders and investors, helping them use talent to drive their organizations' strategies."
