In the world of government contracting, where behemoth corporations often dominate the landscape, it’s a rare and remarkable feat for a smaller player to rise to the top. However, that’s precisely what AMSG has achieved by securing The Washington Post’s 2024 Top Workplaces.
Based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee engagement technology partner Energage, the confidential survey uniquely measures how well employees feel respected and supported, enabled to grow, and empowered to execute. Featuring an array of esteemed organizations, including government contractors, tech companies, real estate firms, and health service providers, more than 7,000 companies were invited to participate. Subsequently, AMSG was identified as one of the top 200 workplaces in the Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia regions.
Founded just a decade ago, AMSG set out with a clear mission: to provide superior solutions to government agencies. And in the last few years, AMSG has quietly been making waves with its innovative approach in fostering a supportive and dynamic work environment for its employees. Through initiatives such as its Veteran Mentorship Program, its one-of-a-kind Hobby Program, and its International Philanthropy Program, AMSG has established itself as a beacon of innovation, care, and excellence.
“Earning a Top Workplaces award is a badge of honor for companies, especially because it comes authentically from their employees,” Energage CEO Eric Rubino explains. “That’s something to be proud of. In today’s market, leaders must ensure they’re allowing employees to have a voice and be heard. That’s paramount. Top Workplaces do this, and it pays dividends.”
But what sets this small company apart from its larger competitors? First and foremost, it’s the people. AMSG prides itself on cultivating a psychologically safe culture of collaboration, creativity, and inclusivity. Employees are not just cogs in a machine, but valued members of a tight-knit community, where their ideas are heard, their contributions recognized, and their growth encouraged. This people-centric approach has created a sense of loyalty and dedication rarely seen in the cutthroat world of government contracting.
“We are thrilled to be named among The Washington Post’s Top Workplaces for the first time,” says AMSG President and CEO Jim O’Farrell. “As AMSG continues to grow and innovate, this acknowledgment serves as a testament to our unwavering dedication to our team members and our commitment to fostering a positive and inclusive workplace culture. Our team members are our most valuable asset, and this recognition reaffirms our commitment to creating a workplace where everyone feels valued, supported, and empowered to succeed.”
As AMSG celebrates its latest accolade, The Washington Post’s Top Workplaces award, the company remains focused on its people who serve our federal government and its core values: Competence, Courage, Compassion, Character, Communication, and Community. With a dedicated team of passionate professionals driving its success, there’s no telling how far this small, but mighty, government contracting company can go. One thing’s for sure: AMSG is proving that when it comes to making a difference, size doesn’t matter – it’s the heart that counts.
