Our Mission in action

Everyone has a mission statement. On its own, that doesn’t mean much. What matters is how you act on it. Our mission is to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our associates.

Here’s how we put our mission into action:

  • We share prosperity
  • We champion lifelong learning
  • We empower through education
  • We celebrate legacies
  • We promote community stewardship
  • We cultivate personal and professional wellness

We Share Prosperity

We share earned prosperity with all associates through leadership in wages & compensation, company bonuses and the Zynik Profit Sharing program.

We Champion Lifelong Learning

We champion continuous learning, on-going training & upskilling for our associates through company specific training programs, mentorship and the annual Zynik Seminar.

We Empower through Education

We directly invest in the economic mobility and success of our associates and their families through the millions of dollars spent through the Zynik Founder Scholarship program.

We Celebrate Legacies

We acknowledge and proudly celebrate associates who’ve dedicate their careers to our companies through the Zynik Lifetime Dedication Award.

We Promote Community Stewardship

We create stronger communities by supporting countless charitable organizations at the local level through our companies.

We Cultivate Personal & Professional Wellness

We back physical and mental health with the same intent and investment as we put into career development.

Lifelong Learning

The Zynik Seminar

Each year, we host our marquee 2-day learning event led by Harvard faculty where Zynik leaders, colleagues, and associates — both past and present — from across our companies come together to learn from each other and from the top minds in the business and academic worlds.

Empowerment through Education

The Zynik Founder Scholarship

We believe that education is a critical key capable of making a meaningful difference in the lives of our associates and their families. This is why we created the Zynik Founder Scholarship Program. Through this scholarship, we’re able to give meaningful financial support to the eligible children and grandchildren of our current, past and retired associates pursuing skilled trade certifications, college diplomas and undergraduate degrees.

The Zynik Lifetime Dedication Award

Many of our associates have been with our companies for over 40 years. We celebrate this accomplishment with our annual Lifetime Achievement Award, honoring their commitment and contributions.

At Zynik, we're proud to celebrate our employees who have been with us more than 40 years with the Zynik Lifetime Achievement Award and celebration dinner

Promoting Community Stewardship

Each year, we support a number of charitable organizations, making a lasting, positive impact in the communities we call home.
