I am always amazed at the genuine kindness of our super-smart and humble people. Being able to work and play with such a diverse group of Groundswellers, brought together by shared values and a passion for enabling success for our clients, team members and community is a privilege. I love that we are giving back through our Impact team initiatives and how much we invest in our team.

I am so grateful that I found Groundswell back in 2019. I get to work with such smart and supportive people – it makes showing up at work every day such a pleasure! The energy and passion that the team have, in P&C and in the other teams at Groundswell, is amazing and something that I have never been a part of before at work!

The culture at Groundswell is unlike anything I’ve experienced in past roles. I’m grateful to work with a team that is so passionate about creating a really enjoyable work environment while providing support to one another. Having a positive employee experience is something that is really important to me, so I’m really excited to be working for a company that truly values this, and that I can contribute to it as well!
