Monica and Scott Graham are the owners of Graham's Carpet Network located in Loveland, CO.
Here's Scott's recipe for both a happy employee culture and a successful company:
"We are very fortunate at Graham's Carpet Network to have an amazing group of individuals that make up our team. More importantly, we have great chemistry here and we truly have “fun” at work. Although all of our people have drastically differing backgrounds and styles, we all share common goals of customer service, honesty, and integrity. In the NFL, every year a new champion is crowned and owns the title of World Champion for a year. My belief is that the talent level of that championship team is not related to having better or more gifted talents than another team but they have better chemistry to work together for a common goal. The owners, administrative staff, sales people and subcontractors for Graham's Carpet Network have this special chemistry.
Our special chemistry at Graham's Carpet Network is not a product of luck or circumstance. When we started our business back in 2003, we enlisted the advice of a trusted friend and business owner. His wise words are the basis for the culture that has been created here at Graham's Carpet Network. He said, “find good people, treat them like gold and they will in turn treat you like gold.” Such an elementary concept has been the recipe for success in all aspects of our business. All of our employees and subcontractors are encouraged to provide us with their personal and career goals (both short and long term). We hold ourselves and our people accountable to achieve their goals. As important as revenue and profits are to a business, we have found that having a safe, trusting, and personal growth oriented approach with our people creates much more satisfaction for all involved. Furthermore, Graham's Carpet Network has experienced double digit growth in revenue and profit over the last three years even in a depressed economy."
Some of their employees went on to share, "Who you work with makes all the difference in how you feel about where you work. That’s probably first and foremost what sets the tone at Graham's Carpet Network is the great people we have." As well as, "I have never ENJOYED working at a place as much as I enjoy working for Scott and Monica. They really do put family first and are always genuinely concerned about how everyone that they know are doing. I think every business could learn from them."
