Lane Gorman Trubitt (LGT), with its dual-office presence in Houston and Dallas, announced it has been named to the Best Places to Work in Texas 2023 list by Best Companies Group, a BridgeTower Media Company. LGT was recognized and selected based on responses from a detailed and comprehensive survey of its employees.

Best Companies Group’s annual award program identifies and honors the best places to work in Texas. The ranking is based on an anonymous employee survey and an analysis of their responses about corporate culture, training and development, salary and benefits, and overall employee satisfaction.

LGT has managed to create a cohesive work environment that bridges the gap between its two offices through parallel programs and events at each location and engagement touchpoints for remote employees. This inclusivity is reflected in the firm's ability to maintain a unified team spirit that ensures every employee, whether onsite or remote, feels an integral part of the LGT team.

Employee engagement at LGT is maintained at high levels thanks to a plethora of programs designed to recognize and reward the hard work and dedication of its team members. For example, training and development is an area where LGT shines. Understanding that the growth of the firm is inextricably linked to the growth of its employees, LGT invests heavily in professional development opportunities, empowering employees to advance their careers within the firm and fostering an atmosphere of continuous learning and improvement. LGT provides opportunities for promotions twice a year and excels at both setting appropriate expectations and demonstrating clear paths for growth to employees.

LGT’s high retention rate from their internship program stands as a testament to the firm's commitment to developing the next generation of industry leaders. This program is designed to provide interns with a rich, hands-on learning experience that not only enhances their educational foundation but also prepares them for successful careers in accounting and finance. This practical approach ensures that interns gain valuable industry experience, develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and understand the day-to-day operations of a leading accounting firm.

Recognizing that the health and happiness of its employees are paramount to the firm's success, LGT has implemented programs that underscore its dedication to fostering a supportive and nurturing environment, such as establishing a Kindness Committee and developing Gratitude Thursdays. LGT also utilizes an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) which is designed to offer confidential, professional support to employees facing personal or professional challenges that might affect their work performance, health, or mental and emotional wellbeing. These initiatives not only demonstrate LGT's investment in the health and happiness of its team but also contribute to a work culture where employees feel valued, supported, and understood on both a professional and personal level.

Perhaps most importantly, LGT has excelled in creating an environment that encourages creative thinking and innovation by promoting a culture where ideas are freely shared, and employees are encouraged to think outside the box. This emphasis on innovation not only benefits the firm through improved processes and services but also significantly enhances employee satisfaction, as team members feel their contributions are valued and impactful.

“Texas is known for innovation, and the companies that made our Best Places to Work in Texas list take a forward-looking approach to creating workplaces of excellence,” said Jaime Raul Zepeda, executive vice president of Best Companies Group. “Our research proves LGT is committed to developing a highly engaged and valued workforce. Congratulations to all of this year’s Best Places to Work in Texas winners.”
