DPR Construction Builds Culture That Works For Millennials

The founders of DPR Construction must have had a crystal ball when they launched their firm 24 years ago. The small cadre of engineers that formed DPR embraced a flat culture over a hierarchical one, and that has proven to be a winner with young employees today. Peter Salvati, a member of DPR’s management committee, says the general contracting firm abides by the principle of “what’s right, not who’s right” — that is, listening closely to all employees, regardless of position. “The person with the right answer may be who you least expect,” Salvati says. “The Millennial generation fits in with ‘what’s

The Great Rated!™ Interview: Todd Wheatland On The Brand Connection

Todd Wheatland straddles the boundary between employer brand and overall company brand. And to hear him tell it, that line is blurring.
