GMAP’s Culture: The Fundamental Reason We Love Working for GMAP

The GMAP culture is a key part of why we have been successful in providing location intelligence data, software and consultancy for our clients, and why so many of our employees are long serving members. 

The Average Length of Service in GMAP is 14 years! 

We strongly believe that it is the culture at GMAP that has resulted in the longevity of so many of our employees. It is incredible that the average length of service of a GMAP employee is 14 years, with one quarter of employees having worked for GMAP for over 25 years! In total, the team have worked in different iterations of the GMAP location planning team for a total of over 165 years. 

Though GMAP has changed over the years, with its different ownership and focus, one thing our long-standing employees can vouch for is that the fundamental culture of working for GMAP has remained constant, it is deeply founded, and it remains something we are proud of.  

GMAP’s Culture is about Making People Happy, Being Helpful, and Rolling Up Our Sleeves

To us GMAP’s culture is about making people happy, being helpful, and rolling our sleeves up to support our clients to answer their business problems. It’s about growing people and empowering all members of the team to be autonomous and to have new ideas, while also knowing they can ask for help, and that other members of the team have their back. It’s also about building relationships, not only with clients but with each other, and most importantly it is about making GMAP an enjoyable place to work.

5 Core Values We Follow in Providing Location Intelligence for Our Clients

GMAP’s culture is based on five core values which in themselves define both our relationship with clients and the defining characteristics of a GMAP employee.
  1. Committed - Loyal and reliable, willing to go the extra mile for our clients and each other
  2. Adaptable - Flexible to meet the needs of our clients and the team
  3. Enthusiastic - Keen to both understand and help our clients answer questions
  4. Approachable - Friendly and easy to talk to, pleased to support others 
  5. Skilful - Good at what we do, yet curious to learn 
These values allow our employees to know what we expect from each other, how clients can expect to work with us and are the basis of how we make decisions.

6 Ways We Maintain GMAP’s Culture

We are passionate about maintaining this culture which is why we:
  1. Trust our employees to work flexibly.
  2. Support time off work with our generous holiday allowance.
  3. Let individuals carve their own career paths within GMAP.
  4. Encourage members to be part of strategic growth planning.
  5. Support the development of new skills to assist in the development of our employees, as well as our products and services.
  6. Ensure we also make time to enjoy each other’s company, whether that be through volunteering days together, or regular team meals out.
