We sat down with Ken Nielsen, PHP’s president and chief executive officer, to get his thoughts on receiving this prestigious honor.
PHP continues to make the Denver Post Top Workplaces list year after year. What does this mean to you?
Ken: Our employees are our greatest asset, and I am thrilled that their words have afforded us the honor of being named a Top Workplace consistently. Our past and continued success are due to our team’s dedication, talent, and hard work, and it means the world to me that they think highly of PHP and have rated us so highly.
How has COVID-19 impacted life at PHP?
Ken: During this unprecedented time, PHP has made it a mission to maintain a sense of connection with employees and the communities we serve despite physical distancing requirements.
PHP has embarked on several special initiatives to connect with employees, including virtual happy hours, theme days, costume parties and a three-week employee appreciation celebration - just to name a few. Additionally, we have really tried to focus on the importance of family and work/life balance by offering activities for employees and their families to enjoy together. We even created a video to teach young family members about what we do here at PHP.
Philanthropy and volunteerism play an essential role in PHP’s identity and tie in with our core values. PHP has continued to support our community during the pandemic by participating in and sponsoring various fundraising events such as virtual 5Ks, virtual celebrations and golf tournaments. Additionally, employees participated in giving initiatives that have raised funds for TESSA, The Family Tree and Project Angel Heart.
What do you think sets PHP apart, making it a Top Workplace?
Ken: The Top Workplace honor is a reflection of our talented team of people who are passionate about our mission and the work we do for clients. We pride ourselves on having a culture that rewards a strong work ethic and teamwork while also having a healthy respect for work-life balance and sharing the rewards of success.
How does the Top Workplace honor help PHP?
Ken: Receiving a Top Workplace honor has helped PHP stand out among competitors and attract talent, which is crucial in today’s competitive talent market.
