Our Unique Culture

We are different by design.

We know what works with our organization, and we hire associates who bring energy, enthusiasm, and the right talents to our unique workplace.

We are in this together. We share beliefs, attitudes, and goals that drive our efforts and make Gallup a meaningful organization. Regardless of our roles, we work hard toward a common goal: creating positive change throughout the world.

Our people are our priority.

Our success depends on our associates' great ideas and hard work. Gallup is a living, breathing example of the workplace engagement research and consulting we implement in many of our clients' organizations. We hire people who are a right fit for our company, and we surround them with managers who care about them and their development.

Our associates decide how successful they will be at Gallup. They develop their individual career paths and roles based on their unique strengths. We understand that each associate is his or her own person, and we respect the talents and abilities each individual brings to his or her job. We engage our associates and provide them with opportunities to ensure their personal and professional well-being.

Performance matters most.

We expect the very best from our associates. We also understand that individuals achieve success in different ways, using many methods. We give our associates unmatched autonomy and freedom on a day-to-day basis. Our associates do what they do best every day in the ways that work best for them. This formula produces great work and positive outcomes.

With this independence comes accountability for results. We accurately measure our associates' efforts and accomplishments using methods such as a pay-for-performance compensation plan. This gives associates the ability to directly affect their pay through their work on a daily basis. With focus and an entrepreneurial spirit, the possibilities are nearly endless.

Relationships are required.

Do you have a best friend at work? We do. Our exhaustive research finds that friendships and relationships at work positively affect performance in many business outcomes. It pays to have quality partnerships in the workplace.

Gallup's associates are no strangers to spending quality time with friends at work. We emphasize the value of friendships and genuine partnerships throughout the organization. And it doesn't stay within our office walls. We are trusted advisors to our clients. These relationships are built on quality work and the rapport between our associates and our partners.

We love to learn.

Our thirst for knowledge and understanding is just as insatiable now as it was in the 1930s, when Dr. George Gallup began polling the will of the people. Our groundbreaking and innovative research allows us to constantly learn and grow as an organization. We impart our dynamic findings and awareness to our clients and others around the world to drive positive change.

Our associates strive to learn and grow as well. They collaborate with one another to create better consulting solutions. They also gain valuable knowledge from client experiences and relationships, and they use this education to enhance our current practices and develop new ideas.

We want to change the world.

We are not shy about our intent to drive positive change throughout the globe with our work and partnerships. We hire associates who are emotionally connected to Gallup's aspirations and ambitious goals.

We are passionate about what we do. We are motivated to affect the industries and areas in which we work using our actions and expertise. And we invest in our associates because they inspire us with their care for clients and their focus on achieving Gallup's ultimate goals.

Our unique culture works for us. We invite you to learn more about our workplace and decide if Gallup is right for you.

Do You Have a Best Friend at Work?

Executives who think friendships are none of their business don't understand human nature.
