Employee retention and workplace culture remain important considerations for construction companies competing for skilled talent. Oliver / Hatcher Construction has been recognized among Michigan's 2026 Best Places to Work, placing in the top 20 for the second consecutive year.
The recognition was announced Aug. 28, 2026, highlighting Oliver / Hatcher Construction's continued placement in the statewide workplace rankings.
The company attributed the recognition to employee feedback and a workplace environment centered on collaboration and shared performance. The repeat ranking provides an indicator of continued employee engagement within the organization.
Oliver / Hatcher Construction operates from Novi and works across commercial construction markets including industrial, manufacturing, health care, hospitality, office, retail and warehouse-distribution projects.
Workplace culture and employee retention have become increasingly relevant to construction businesses seeking to maintain experienced project teams and attract new talent. A stable workforce can support continuity across estimating, preconstruction, project management and field operations.
For contractors, recognition based on employee feedback can also serve as an external indicator of workplace conditions as companies compete for skilled professionals and craft workers across Michigan's construction market.
