Our culture

At Berger Communities, we believe great culture isn't built overnight. It's built through the people you hire, the values you live by, and the way you show up every single day. Our culture is what drives how we treat each other, how we serve our residents, and how we grow as an organization.

The Berger Way

The Berger Way is more than a framework - it's how we show up for each other and the communities we serve, every single day. These are the values that guide how we treat one another, how we work with our partners, and how we earn the trust of our residents.

White Shoe Initiative

At Berger Communities, wins are never just individual, they belong to the whole team. That's why every team member receives a pair of white Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars® to mark major milestones. It's a tangible reminder that when one of us succeeds, all of us do.

White Shoe Days

When a milestone is reached, everyone laces up their white shoes and celebrates together. A commemorative pair travels from community to community, collecting signatures from across the team, then it's mounted at the Home Office as a permanent reminder of what we accomplished together.

White Shoe Breakthroughs

Whether at an industry event, a company gathering, or welcoming a new community into the portfolio, team members wear their white shoes with pride. It's a simple but powerful signal: we're in this together, and every success belongs to all of us.

Journey Forward Fund logo

At Berger Communities, we recognize that our employees are the cornerstone of our success. The Journey Forward Fund (JFF) reflects our commitment to celebrating achievements, rewarding excellence, and supporting employees during life’s challenges. This program reinforces our dedication to fostering a culture where employees feel valued, appreciated, and supported in extraordinary ways.
