Rooted in Values: Preserving Weitz’s People-First Culture

By Krista Robinson, Vice President of Human Resources

Since our founding in 1855 as a small family-owned business, The Weitz Company has experienced transformative growth. From local projects to national impact, we’ve grown in size, reach, and expertise—but one thing has never changed: our commitment to people and our culture. 

At Weitz, we work hard to maintain that small-company feel that has defined us for over 170 years. That means creating an environment where employees are not only valued but truly supported. With every decision, our leadership team is committed to preserving and nurturing this culture across every part of the company. 

Our culture is rooted in our core values, which continue to guide our decisions and shape how we show up for each other, our partners, and our clients: 

• Honesty & Integrity: We embrace the “light of day” test, ensuring transparency and trust in all we do. 

• Respect for People: People matter—and we live it every day through our relationships, communication, and collaboration. 

• Performance with Absolute Reliability: We aim to amaze our customers at every opportunity with consistency, quality, and accountability. 

• Long-Term Perspective: We focus on building today while preparing for tomorrow. 

• Nurturing Personal Growth: We give opportunities to learn, lead, and have fun. 

In a rapidly growing company, it can be easy to lose sight of what matters. But at Weitz, we believe growth should never come at the cost of culture. That’s why we continue to invest in career development, celebrate success, and support each other through challenges. 

At the end of the day, our people are our greatest asset—and that’s something we’ll never outgrow.
