Our trademarks are therefore at the core of how we operate. Our trademarks are: ■■ ownership ■■ courage ■■ unity Relationships count At Crowe Horwath, building genuine relationships across our business with our colleagues and clients is what counts. Our business model is built on putting relationships at the centre of everything we do. Client Survey results tell us that we’re friendly, accessible and easy to do business with. These are some of the reasons why clients enjoy working with us. Likewise, our Employee Survey tells us that our people genuinely value their relationships with our clients – one of the reasons they love working here! These great outcomes are the result of taking the time to develop strong relationships so we understand our clients’ needs, and even more importantly, having the internal resources to deliver a wide range of solutions for our clients. Working at Crowe Horwath provides you with the opportunity to build real relationships with your clients. Crowe Horwath really does offer ‘The relationship you can count on’ for our clients and employees. Our people We are a dedicated, friendly, committed and talented team who genuinely enjoy what we do. Our offices are managed locally, so we retain a personal, friendly environment, with close links to our local community. Our size offers our employees the variety of work, security and opportunities they are looking for, whilst our personalised culture offers a great place to work. A great place to work We fully embrace this philosophy. Each year all Crowe Horwath employees participate in a survey to provide feedback on how we’re performing across a range of areas. The survey is anonymous and it’s our way of measuring staff satisfaction and the general health of our business from a people perspective. The survey is used by multiple organisations so we can benchmark our results against others. Results are always shared with employees and year-upon-year improvements are our focus.
