Foster Group receives Gallup Great Workplace Award
Foster Group, a fee-only investment adviser group in West Des Moines, was recognized by Gallup as a 2018 Great Workplace Award winner. The firm, which also has an Omaha office, was the only small employer in Iowa and Nebraska to be a part of the list of 39 companies recognized. Inclusion in the list is based on Gallup’s thorough scientific research, connecting employee engagement to nine specific performance outcomes. On average, these elite organizations have 14 engaged employees for every one actively disengaged employee, nearly seven times the U.S. rate and more than 15 times the rate for workforces globally, according to Gallup. Foster Group CEO Buck Olson said the firm has always invested in its culture. “We believe that by assembling the right team, our clients continue to be truly cared for, because that’s what matters most,” he said.
