This marks Hiffman’s 10th time earning the designation since the company’s first win in 2013. Combined with the 2018 Crain’s Best Places to Work win (and various other awards over the years), Hiffman has compiled a nice trophy shelf with 11 consecutive years earning a ‘top workplaces’ distinction; however, the hardware is far less significant than the achievements they represent. The award was due in a large part to the level of participation and feedback contributed by over 90% of Hiffman employees who responded to the Top Workplaces survey.

Hiffman CEO Dave Petersen said, “The clear challenge that comes with growth and success is the conscious effort to ‘remember what got you there’ in the first place. Our Top Workplaces endeavor is an annual reminder both to be proud of what we’ve achieved together, and to be cognizant of the areas where we need to continue working every day to earn the trust and satisfaction of our Hiffman colleagues (and the extended network of everyone’s families) and our clients. This award and its related insights help us continue moving in the right direction together.”
