Collaborative Consulting
After making its debut last year as a Best Firm to Work For,
Burlington, Mass.-based Collaborative Consulting is back for
Round 2. And William C. Robichaud Sr., Founder, President &
CEO of the firm, says it’s based on the foundational principal
of integrity and it’s an honor to be recognized once again.
“Receiving an accolade like this
shows our loyalty and commitment
to our employees and clients does
not go unnoticed,” says Robichaud.
“We pride ourselves on establishing
a company culture around extremely
talented and ambitious people who
work hard, like to have fun, are ded-
icated to their work and clients and
always strive to truly collaborate in a
team-oriented workplace.”
He says it is these attributes
and approach that have al-
lowed Collaborative to maintain
long-standing relationships working
with some of the top business and
technology leaders throughout the
U.S. for more than 17 years. “We
have a culture based on integrity
and success,” Robichaud says. “We
strive for a culture that reflects our
values and provides team members
with an opportunity to bond, learn,
and contribute while working to-
gether for the greater good of our
clients and the success of our firm.”
He says the way the firm ap-
proaches its employees and client
relationships—with integrity and
transparency—has led to high morale.
“We recognize we have an inquisitive
group of employees and value keeping
them informed of the company’s past,
present, and future plans,” he says.
“We look forward to continuing to
make an effort in maintaining our em-
ployee satisfaction and further solidi-
fying Collaborative as a company that
continues to be a great place to work.”
Collaborative’s top priority,
Robichaud says, is to continue to
provide excellent customer ser-
vice to clients while expanding its
footprint in the Northeast and Mid-
Atlantic with existing customers and
prospects, including a new center
in Waterville, Maine. “We chose
Waterville because of the dynamic
community, exceptional workforce
and impressive educational infra-
structure focused on innovation,” he
says. “The community is excited for
our presence and we are excited to be
a part of their growing community.”
HEADQUARTERS: BILLABLE CONSULTANTS: CLIENT INDUSTRIES SERVED:
ON THE SURVEY,
THE FIRM EXCELLED
IN THE AREAS OF
COMPENSATION &
BENEFITS, AND CLIENT
ENGAGEMENT. WHY DO
YOU THINK THAT IS?
ROBICHAUD: “Our employees
and our clients are the foundation of our business, and, not
surprisingly, employee and customer satisfaction are at the top
of our list of priorities. Given
the level of effort our employees exert to meet and exceed
client expectations, the company, in turn, then strives to meet
and exceed our employee satisfaction levels, with competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits offering.
It is a means of the company
acknowledging and rewarding
our people. We’re challenging
our people to meet the goal of
providing an unparalleled level
of commitment from both Collaborative and the employee
towards the client—and that’s
not lost on the client. It helps
to establish a unique level of
trust with the client. This trust
allows the client to feel comfortable enough to trust our people
with their most challenging and
critical work.”
