When The Franklin Johnston Group was established, its founders wanted to create a company based on the core values of commitment, knowledge, teamwork, character, communication and balance.

With their rapid growth, TFJG’s executive teams knew it was important ensure that they create a culture of innovation and employee engagement, which is a key driver to meet multiple challenges.

If you want to know if it's a great place to work, you ask the people who work there. Patrick Antrim, Founder and CEO of Multifamily Leadership says, “Employee engagement is actually a much more powerful indicator of organizational success than the size of the company, as employee engagement is tied to behavior and higher performance."
