The Whitaker Way

Walking through the hallways of The Whitaker Companies corporate offices in Houston, Texas you will see that there is writing on the walls. The messages are glimpses of who we believe we are and reminders of who we aspire to be. As a more thorough inspection of the offices reveals those messages interspersed throughout, you will come to the realization that these are not simply words or marketing tactics; they are our identity and our compass.

Years ago, Whitaker began to experience rapid growth at a rate of over 50% annually that included the opening of new offices. As we learned to grow, we became concerned that we could begin to lose the things we thought were special about our company. Hence, we sat down and began to compile a list of our core values. Those values are the guiding principles for the way we run our business and the decisions we make everyday with our clients and our consultants. Adherence to these values is recognized and honored through quarterly and annual award programs.

At Whitaker, "Integrity" is not just a definition on a wall. It is who we are and it is our chosen method of operation.
