Our culture
We stand by the importance of offering a work-life balance that supports our employees both in and out of the office. We strive to prioritize our people and culture through our charity and social activities, DE&I initiatives, inclusive office design, and employee satisfaction surveys.

Charity initiatives
At LGRA, we take pride in our commitment to give back to the communities we work and live in. We host an annual charity drive, offer generous company matching for donations, review donation requests to charities our employees are most passionate about, offer two paid volunteer days for our employees each year, and other quarterly charity activities.
In 2022, we raised over $24,000 in donations through our annual charitable giving initiatives.

DE&I initiatives
As part of our Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DE&I) initiatives, we have established our IDEAL Council, an employee-driven group that meets on a regular basis to brainstorm and discuss new ideas for promoting an inclusive working environment for all.
