Many of you may have already heard that McGuire and Hester has been recognized as a 2025 Top Workplace by the San Francisco Chronicle. This award is especially meaningful because it comes directly from employee feedback. Making a strong return to the list this year, the honor feels both well-earned and well-deserved. It was especially nice that due to the standout positive feedback you all provided, the Chronicle did not just put us on the list, but actually highlighted our company in a Sunday article.
What makes this recognition truly special is that it reflects the way we treat one another. It is not about perks or programs. It is about people. It is about how we work, how we listen, and how we support each other every single day.
It Begins With You
This workplace is not built by policies or posters. It is built by people who care. That means speaking up when it matters, stepping in when help is needed, and showing pride in every task, large or small.
At McGuire and Hester, we have something rare. We trust each other. We take ownership. We believe in the impact we make and in one another. That mindset is what sets us apart and it is what made this recognition possible.
Your feedback told a clear story. It spoke of respect, purpose, belonging, and pride. That is not something that can be ordered or trained. It is earned, every day, by the way you show up for your team.
This Is More Than an Award
Recognition is nice, but it is not the goal. Our goal has always been to build a place where people want to be. A place where people feel safe, challenged, appreciated, and part of something bigger.
The Top Workplace award is a milestone, not a finish line. It reminds us that what we are doing works, and that it is worth protecting and strengthening.
Thank you for being part of what makes McGuire and Hester more than just a workplace. Thank you for bringing your voice, your effort, and your commitment to the team. This award belongs to every one of you.
