We put people first. As a family-owned and operated firm with a rich history, we prioritize a work environment that fosters work-life balance. We cultivate strategic, trusted relationships with our clients, leveraging our true matrix organization where team members cross markets and project types to bring the best experience—and results—for our clients.
Living Our Culture
Our culture isn't just something we talk about—it's something we live and breathe every day. Join us and discover a workplace where appreciation, safety, community, and balance are more than just words—they're the foundation of who we are.
WHAT MAKES TBS' CULTURE SPECIAL
Appreciation
We believe in celebrating each other's successes and fostering a culture of appreciation. Through initiatives like Associate Spotlights, Holiday Celebrations, and our KUDOS (Kaught U Doing Outstanding Stuff) we ensure every team member feels seen, valued, and celebrated.
Safety
Your well-being matters! Safety isn't just a priority—it's a non-negotiable commitment. Our safety goal, "Everybody Goes Home Safely," guides everything we do. From our Safety Incentive Program to rigorous protocols and training, we prioritize your well-being every single day.
Community Engagement
Together, we create meaningful change! Our team members aren’t just residents of our communities; we actively engage in initiatives to improve them. From enhancing neighborhoods through projects to supporting charitable causes and participating in our Social Purpose and Responsibility Krewe (SPARK), we're dedicated to making a positive impact. Our commitment extends to involvement in local leadership groups like the Think Green Recycling Program and initiatives like Purpose Time Off and Military Reserve Leave which showcase our dedication to serving others.
Balance
At TBS, we nurture and prioritize well-being. That's why we support initiatives and policies that enable our associates to thrive both personally and professionally. From flexible schedules to wellness programs, we're here to ensure every team member has the opportunity to be their best self in every aspect of life. When our team has work-life balance, TBS is better for it!
Community Partnership
SPARK (Social Purpose and Responsibility Krewe) drives TBS’ community partnership group and is dedicated to fostering a charitable and community outreach focus within the firm. We recognize the societal impact of business and strive to raise awareness of this responsibility. The SPARK group takes pride in cultivating a culture at TBS where community care isn't just a one-time event but a lifelong commitment.
