The emphasis and appreciation of people did not begin in 1986 when the business was founded; it began long before then through the company---s founder, Rick Giombetti, who has spent his entire life focusing on others. A Vietnam War Navy Veteran, Rick and his wife Andrea ran the first residency program in the state of Massachusetts that was dedicated to helping those who were unable to take care of themselves. Later, Rick started his career in Human Resources at a major food distributor in Connecticut. After several years, Rick grew frustrated with the ---manager mentality--- and decided to break away from Corporate America. The vision he had for his own consultancy was simple: companies that focus on creating environments where people jump out of bed to work for would ultimately achieve more long-term success than companies that focus solely on their bottom line. Fast forward to today and not only is GA on its second generation of ownership, but it has also helped more than 500 companies worldwide build great cultures by placing the right people in the right kinds of roles. GA has also sustained its own success by continually practicing what we preach. We work hard, we bend over backward for our clients, and most importantly we have FUN doing it Learn more about us at https://giombettiassoc.com.
