We have been recognized by the Great Place to Work Institute for the past 14 years, and we are a We also know we work best when we are having fun! Our Culture Council makes sure that our firm-wide events are very “Kahler Slater” (meaning: creative, special, interactive and fun!). Whether it is a firm retreat, a city-wide scavenger hunt, an @4 happy hour, or a summer picnic with Lego boot camp for the kids – we seek to build relationships with each other and great memories along the way. Our offices are intentionally located in areas that enable our employees to take advantage of each city’s unique offerings before, during and after the work day. Each office has immediate proximity to transit lines and are convenient to bike to work. In Milwaukee, we further extend the Kahler Slater experience aboard the S.S. Enterprise, our pontoon boat (aka floating conference room), which is docked right outside our door. Kahler Slater isn’t just about doing great work for clients – we believe in giving back to the communities where we live, work and play. In fact, involvement in our communities is one of our core values. We engage in many ways by sharing our time, talent and resources. This includes things like pro-bono work, charitable donations and even setting aside a day each year to participate in a firm-wide volunteering day with a partnering organization. We create formal commitments with a variety of organizations every year. This allows us to develop long-standing relationships and establish multiple unique and creative ways to donate, volunteer and support each of them individually. We know we grow stronger as a firm, and as individuals, when we are engaged in programs that give back not only to the design world, but our own hometowns. Every client has a strategic goal in mind when they engage us to study or design a new place. It might be to attract top physicians and nurses, educate a new generation of students, support an innovative culture or maybe create a destination hotel or restaurant within a city. No matter the type, the decision to design a new environment is a powerful and fleeting moment of opportunity to dramatically advance an organization. Our collaborative process and expert staff guide our clients to achieve powerful results through their projects and take full advantage of this moment. How can we help you maximize your opportunity of place?
