Cornerstone Christian Academy ranked highest among the 79 small businesses highlighted in this year’s AJC Top Workplaces. SEI-Atlanta, SJ Technologies of Sugar Hill, Corserve and Profisee followed it.
Here are glimpses of these organizations and what makes them winners.
2. SEI-Atlanta
SEI-Atlanta is an employee-owned business and technology consulting firm that has partnered with Atlanta’s top companies for more than 20 years. The company touts its ability to provide thought leadership, true accountability for impact and personal attention as a local partner while providing the reach and knowledge of a national organization. Because SEI hires experienced consultants as partners in the business, there is minimal need for a burdensome and expensive management hierarchy. This translates to a culture that values client-enriching collaboration among consultants over competition, and employees who are heavily invested in the client’s and company’s success.
A cornerstone of SEI’s culture is a commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion. The company fosters DEI through formal succession planning, proactive recruiting for diversity, open discussion forums, complete transparency on review scoring criteria and a diverse employee review council. This produces a diverse team of talented consultants who are rewarded through profit-sharing, dividends on ownership, full benefits that include company-paid dental and vision coverage, company-paid short- and long-term disability, shared HSA contributions, and robust health and wellness programs.
As a local consulting firm, SEI is committed to the community. It affects several community-based organizations and initiatives, including Community Consulting Teams Atlanta, the Atlanta Community Food Bank, Chris 180 and the COPA United Charity Soccer Tournament. All new hires must be experienced professionals who thrive in an entrepreneurial, collaborative and collegial culture.
