In our view, Oxford’s distinctive edge is framed by three pillars: talent, culture and community. These pillars form the foundation of what makes Oxford exceptional, setting it apart in the professional landscape. Let’s take a closer look at this trio of pillars that support the foundation of Oxford today.
I. TALENT
Oxford relentlessly pursues the best talent in the market. With seven physical offices, the luxury of selecting top-tier individuals across various locations increases. This expansive approach allows for a highly-selective hiring process, resulting in a workforce that is not only technically proficient but also highly-credentialed.
Oxford’s associates often come from other prestigious firms, attracted by the chance to make a significant impact within a company large enough to offer comprehensive services, yet perfectly sized to maintain a personal touch.
Oxford prides itself on being a dynamic firm, with an emphasis on welcoming new ideas and change. Associates are encouraged to provide feedback actively, fostering an environment where their input can influence improvements. Oxford’s commitment to retaining top talent is exemplified by the fact that more than 30 percent of our employees have spent over a decade with the company.
II. CULTURE
Culture is a keystone at Oxford, continuously evolving to become better. To enhance it further, Oxford supports several committees, each tasked with a specific focus designed to enhance and support Oxford’s culture.
• The Culture and Values Committee consists of individuals from various organizational levels, ensuring a holistic approach to culture management. The Committee focuses on defining the desired culture, recognizing behaviors that support it and acknowledging individuals who exemplify it.
• The C.A.R.E. Crew is focused on providing fun, team-building activities and events for Oxford associates throughout the year. They also provide a mechanism for associates to recognize outstanding work among colleagues and to acknowledge those individuals who go above and beyond.
• Brixton Borough is composed of associates who are committed to helping Oxford cultivate a more diverse and inclusive culture. This group endeavors to provide an environment of belonging for all associates, and to embrace learning and advocacy.
Overall, Oxford’s culture is typified by its associates’ relentless pursuit of improvement, echoing the characteristics of the highly-driven, educated and credentialed individuals who make up the Oxford team.
III. COMMUNITY
Oxford’s commitment extends beyond professional services; it’s about investing in the community. The Giving Committee exemplifies this commitment by organizing various activities, including sponsoring families, collecting meals and supporting animal shelters. These endeavors not only impact communities but also foster a sense of connectedness among Oxford associates. It’s more than just contributing; it’s a profound human investment.
We see the Oxford difference as the manifestation of the values and actions that drive our organization. It reflects our dedication to making a difference in the world of work and beyond.
