Tait & Associates voted Top Workplace

The OC Register recently announced that Santa Ana-based Tait & Associates came out on top in a survey for the best places to work in 2019 for the fourth year in a row.

Tom Tait used to be the mayor of Anaheim, and although his term has ended, he is still campaigning to make his family-owned business one of the best places to work in the country.

Tait & Associates is a civil engineering firm. The company was founded by Tom’s father in 1964 and it is now run by Tom, his brother Rich, and his son Trevor. The firm’s offices are located in Santa Ana and it hires more than 200 people who specialize in environmental sustainability, architecture, and land-planning services. The company’s portfolio shows that it has worked on hundreds of projects across the western part of the United States.

Corporate Gifts are one tool that businesses can use to increase employee morale. When asked about receiving the honor, Tom Tait said:

“Certainly, the bottom line is important. But it’s not everything. We spend so much of our lives in our work, and it ought to be great for everybody. I think when you have that culture, the bottom line seems to take care of itself.”


The Taits believe that keeping the workplace ‘jerk-free’ helps to boost employee morale. They also give employees the freedom to express themselves and find novel ways to fix problems. They believe that new ideas are great because the business environment is always changing.
