At EnSafe, we believe our people are our greatest strength. Our corporate goals mention: “EnSafe is a place where the best in the business want to be. EnSafe’s Career Development process sets a clear path to thrive, grow, and enjoy a successful, rewarding career. EnSafers have a growth mindset, think things through, and act as owners.” That’s why we invest not only in technical excellence, but also in the personal and professional growth of our employees.
ELEVATE, EnSafe’s professional development program, was created to help employees expand their leadership skills, build meaningful connections, and prepare for the next stage of their careers.
Launched in 2025, ELEVATE brings together employees from different offices, disciplines, and backgrounds to participate in an intensive leadership experience focused on communication, self-awareness, collaboration, and professional growth.
Developed in partnership with leadership development consultant Your Write Hand, the program equips participants with practical tools they can immediately apply to their work, helping them become stronger consultants, mentors, and leaders. Along the way, they build relationships that extend beyond projects and office locations, creating a network of colleagues who support one another long after the program ends.
Participants consistently describe the program as both professionally impactful and personally rewarding.
“ELEVATE provided me with strong foundational tools that were both relevant and immediately impactful in how I approach my role at EnSafe,” said Marshall Gibson. “Using these tools has enabled me to expand my capabilities and strengthen my core leadership skills.”
Beyond leadership development, ELEVATE fosters relationships across offices and service lines, helping employees better understand the breadth of expertise within EnSafe.
“The program created a space where internal networking happened naturally,” shared participant Brad Reddick. “We weren’t just learning together; we were actively supporting each other’s growth.”
The program also encourages participants to develop greater self-awareness and intentional leadership practices that benefit both our colleagues and clients.
“ELEVATE was a transformative experience that strengthened my self-awareness and reinforced an ownership mentality,” said Christina Ashdown. “The program provided practical tools that continue to shape my day-to-day approach.”
As EnSafe continues to grow, programs like ELEVATE play an important role in preparing the next generation of leaders while reinforcing the collaborative culture that has defined the company for decades.
The success of the inaugural ELEVATE class reflects a core belief at EnSafe: when employees are given opportunities to grow, connect, and lead, everyone benefits; our people, our clients, and the communities we serve!
Programs like ELEVATE are just one example of how EnSafe continues to invest in the long-term success of its employees and build a culture where people can thrive throughout their careers.
