Farris Engineering, a leader in engineering design and consulting services, proudly celebrated Employee Ownership Month last month. As an employee-owned company, Farris Engineering emphasizes the importance of fostering a collaborative, innovative, and empowered workforce that shares in the company’s success and future growth.

Employee Ownership Month is an annual celebration that highlights the benefits of employee ownership, encouraging businesses to acknowledge the positive impact that employee-owners have on the company’s culture, performance, and long-term sustainability. At Farris Engineering, this philosophy is embedded in the company’s DNA, with employees holding stock in the company through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).

“We believe that employee ownership creates a strong sense of responsibility and accountability, not only towards our clients but also towards each other,” said Michael Wallace, President and CEO of Farris Engineering. “This model allows us to build a culture where everyone’s contributions are valued, leading to higher levels of engagement, job satisfaction, and innovation. As we continue to grow, our employee-owners are empowered to take an active role in shaping the future of Farris Engineering.”

Through its ESOP program, Farris Engineering provides employees with a direct stake in the company’s success, aligning their interests with the business’s goals. This culture of ownership has led to enhanced productivity, higher quality work, and a greater sense of pride in every project.
