At VTS, the process of crafting and living core values is just as important as the values themselves. The NYC-based leasing and management platform takes a bottom-up approach to defining company culture, soliciting feedback from every department to attract buy-in and ownership throughout the organization, from the very first interaction with new talent. “From concept to execution we ensure every search process adheres to our values — from how the job description is drafted to how we manage the searches,” Principal Talent Acquisition Manager Ivette Assis said. “Additionally, through our values interview, we empower candidates to ask potential colleagues the questions that are important to them in their decision-making process.”

Celebrating Shared Identities
Soon after joining VTS, Mariam Javed learned about the company’s robust network of employee resource groups, and she and a colleague decided to launch Muslims@VTS, an ERG to connect with colleagues who share their faith. For Javed, the success of community events around Ramadan highlighted VTS’ diverse and welcoming culture. “ERGs are a great indicator of a company’s commitment to supporting employees from different backgrounds,” she said. “I finally felt like such an important part of my life didn’t have to be hidden from my colleagues or brushed under the rug at work.”
