COMPANY CULTURE

Wipfli pairs the strengths of nearly 90 years of consulting experience with a forward-thinking approach to technology. The firm’s commitment to client impact — to using digital technologies to turn confusion into clarity for its clientele — is matched by its commitment to empowering associates and creating a diverse, inclusive creative culture and workplace. “We have an insatiable curiosity and a seemingly endless thirst for exploring what’s possible, which is fueled by a collective drive and sense of intrepidness,” Zac Charnecki, senior manager, innovation and transformation said. “I don’t think we’d have it any other way.”

A CULTURE OF INNOVATION

Encouraging an impactful and creative culture

“We are a firm of entrepreneurs. And let’s face it, people work to be compensated,” said Charnecki. Once associates’ needs are met with pay and benefits, though, “things shift dramatically to a desire for career satisfaction and work engagement.” The company helps encourage those aspirations to engage, learn, grow and create through Wipfli’s formal innovation pipeline; its center for empowerment; and programs like performance coaching, the company’s knowledge base, learning center and a new work alignment platform, which will provide performance metrics to Wipfli associates.

CULTIVATING COMMUNITY

Impacting the office, giving back to the community

Lumi Paulson

Consultant, Human Capital Management; Wipfli Pride Communications Chair

As Wipfli Pride Business Resource Group’s communications chair, Paulson works to communicate and educate throughout the firm to advance a more inclusive culture. Wipfli Pride recently introduced pronoun and inclusive language training, as part of a larger program, which has graduated 10 trainers equipped to strengthen associates’ understanding of gender inclusivity. Additionally, Wipfli Pride has partnered with Wipfli’s charitable trust, the Wipfli Foundation, to support organizations like GLAAD, PFLAG, GLSEN, The Trevor Project and National Center for Transgender Equality.

“Wipfli is very open to seeing all perspectives, to growth and to striving to be a great place to work.”

CARING COWORKERS

A culture that values community

If Alex Yeh had to distill Wipfli’s culture into one word, it would be “nurturing.” In his role, his overarching responsibilities are to maximize the value his team delivers to clients and to support his colleagues as they solve myriad challenges. That feeling of support goes both ways, too. “People are not only willing to help out — they are willing to help you grow,” Yeh said. “I’m invested in my team members’ success and can confidently say they are invested in mine.” With ongoing projects in the works with Wipfli’s design team, Yeh has no hesitation that the camaraderie will continue.
