In addition to five million ratings across 70,000 companies, Goodrich holds himself and his company to a higher standard by emphasizing the value of diversity in the workplace.

“At Gaylor Electric, we are committed to bringing in the best people possible. And I have found that talent comes from a wide net of cultures,” Goodrich said. “Construction is one of most diverse professional industries. On our larger national construction projects, we have 30 to 40 percent Hispanic individuals as our workforce.”
Comparably allows for all anonymous employee voices to be heard through an annual survey. The results are derived from non-Caucasian employees about their CEOs.
“Listening to and promoting the voices of all diverse employees is critical,” Comparably CEO Jason Nazar said. “This year’s list of CEOs implements equity and inclusion at the forefront of how they lead, according to feedback directly from their employees of color.”
Goodrich said diversity is an important aspect Gaylor Electric strives to have.
“At Gaylor Electric, diversity entails so much more than how someone looks. We have developed our own brand of what true IED looks like,” Goodrich said. “The best teams are made up of diverse thinking individuals, and unique perspectives are an advantage to developing solutions. This is the key to our successful teams.”
