Clarkston’s core values are at the heart of our culture. Clarkston Stewards demonstrate these principles in their daily work with clients and each other. A spirit of entrepreneurship, client service, and passion for building the best organization has become the rich foundation upon which every Clarkston Steward grows his or her successful career.

By living our core values and by always going the extra mile, Clarkston employees and clients enjoy being part of a winning team.

Listen to Clarkston Stewards talk about what our core values mean to them.

At Clarkston, we do not think of our people as employees, but rather as Stewards of our firm. While “employee” may be accurate, the term does not do justice to the work that we do. Our Stewards are more than just business professionals – they are caretakers for our firm and our clients, coaches within the company, ambassadors to their communities, and the core of who we are. By balancing a strong teamwork attitude with attention to individual needs, Clarkston fosters a community where everyone can excel.

Clarkston is an entrepreneurial and rapidly growing organization. We distinguish ourselves from our competition by providing an environment that cultivates teamwork and emphasizes personal growth and accelerated responsibility. This structure keeps bureaucracy to a minimum and fosters increased creativity.

Clarkston offers a variety of programs to support our people. Governed primarily by firm Stewards, these represent opportunities to network with peers, develop and enhance skills and knowledge, influence business solutions, and impact firm policies and procedures. Some of our more popular networks include:

Work-Life Balance Committee
Peer Network
Women’s Network

Culture Committee
Knowledge Communities
Community Outreach Programs

The Clarkston family is comprised of individuals at all levels – from Associates to Partners – who come from diverse backgrounds and cultures. Each offers different, important, and relevant perspectives about working together. At Clarkston Consulting, we refer to our people as Stewards – a word that we feel best describes the importance of people to our success, and our commitment to achieving mutually beneficial results.

We support and preserve a diverse culture by encouraging an environment where equality and mutual respect are intrinsic. Clarkston strives to create a success-oriented, cooperative, and caring community drawing on the intellectual strength and producing innovative solutions from the synergy of its diverse Stewards.

Our Diversity Council and Core Values Committee work to ensure our employee satisfaction goals are achieved. Employee teams work together with firm management on varying activities and initiatives, including community service events, diversity outreach efforts, employee forums/groups, work/life balance, and leadership development programs.
