Creative Technology employees give the company high marks for a variety of reasons. While its local office is home to 18 employees, it is part of a larger network of offices that provides audio-visual services for special events around the country and world. While the company was started in the 1980s, Creative Technology’s local office was opened in 2005. Its employees can tap big company benefits by being associated with an international entity of 300 employees, while enjoying a casual, comfortable local atmosphere as well, said Herb Brandt, general manager of Creative Technology’s Las Vegas office.
“We include all employees in all communication. The chairman will travel down here a few times a year and go through each office, talk to every employee,” Brandt said. “We have wide open communication from the lowest levels to everyone in the field.”
Brandt’s office also maintains little perks, such as a loose dress code, flexible schedules and an absolute commitment to not micromanaging employees, confirmed by both company leadership and employees.
“I’m not looking over anyone’s shoulder. I hire people. They know what they need to do. I prefer to give them latitude and room,” Brandt added. “Everybody looks out for everybody else and pitches in and helps. We don’t have any of this, ‘That’s not my job, that’s your job’ stuff.”
The local Creative Technology office helps produce 50-plus large trade shows, corporate meetings and business sessions each year in Las Vegas.
