…For our Clients

GSL being fully employee owned means that we can provide reliable service. The incentives of everyone at GSL are aligned at every level of business, we are all unified in the same boat and rowing the same direction. Employee ownership also means that we can offer reliability, our workforce has a low turnover rate and a commitment to future success. That means you can expect relationships to last for years into the future. Our Employee Owners understand the bottom line, and we’re better prepared to help our clients meet theirs. We have a core understanding that it is our relationship with our clients that makes our work possible, and foster a culture that will provide those relationships with the attention and care that they deserve!

…For our Employee Owners

Virtually every person who works full-time at GSL is an Employee-Owner of the company. We have found that the best way to foster a culture of success is to empower everyone within the company to share the benefits of a job well done. Our Employee-Owners see a real financial return when our company performs well, in the form of an ESOP. We are all encouraged to find ways to perform efficiently and effectively. When an Employee Owner shares an idea on how we can improve, we all benefit. A rising tide lifts all boats, and so we value that input.

A sense of Ownership means our Employee Owners can take pride in their work. We are all motivated to excel in our craftsmanship, knowing it is a reflection of a company we have a personal and financial stake in. Our ESOP allows us to provide even more stability for our Employee-Owners by essentially bolstering their retirement plans. Shares are automatically distributed to the accounts of each Employee-Owner at no cost to them. The better the company performs, the higher the value of those contributions. The longer an Employee-Owner helps build our company, the more their accounts will be worth.
