Congratulations to Jim Kleingers for winning C-Suite’s 2019 CEO of the Year award! The C-Suite Awards Program honors C-level executives from companies across the greater Cincinnati region for their contribution and commitment to the community and their outstanding professional performance.

Jim is consistently humbled by the support he’s received and giving back is almost imperative. The list of organizations he supports is impressive, but what is more impressive is the amount of time and genuine interest he has in each one. Despite serving in so many places, he continues to accept additional responsibility when asked. From fundraisers to one-on-one time with individual scouts, Jim gives of his time freely and willfully.

Jim Kleingers, PE, PS
President / CEO

Thank you, Jim, for leading and living by example!

What’s in a name? Well, a lot, especially when it’s a name some have a hard time saying! Watch how many different ways Kleingers is pronounced.

The Kleingers Group congratulates Laura Palmer for her fantastic achievement. Laura is now an ASFPM Certified Floodplain Manager (CFM ®). This certifies that Laura is a highly qualified individual who can meet the challenge of breaking the damage cycle of damage-rebuild-damage, stopping its negative drain on the nation’s human, financial and natural resources.

ASFPM has become a respected voice in floodplain management practice and policy in the United States because it represents the flood hazard specialists of local, state, and federal government, the research community, the insurance industry, and the fields of engineering, hydrologic forecasting, emergency response, water resources, and others. For more information see The Association of Floodplains Managers.

Kleingers is proud to have such a capable and highly qualified individual on our team. Congratulations Laura!

The Kleingers Group’s vision is to be a destination for our people and the market. Realistically, that means being a company clients choose to work with and employees want to be a part of. The physical space is a critical component of that. Our former building didn’t match that vision.

Based on feedback from our own employees, we built a new space that boasts their specific goals in mind. The new office features:

• Nine different types of rooms, ranging from large conference rooms to small huddle spaces for just a few people to a private room for marking up plans digitally
• An additional ten different open collaboration spaces, ranging from a central team table to couches and coffee tables, to a coffee nook
• Digital connectivity from every room
• Interior garage doors to allow for more flexibility in the training space
• Lots of glass to provide plenty of natural light
• Custom built tables and wall enhancements built by employees

The new space is an employee-focused environment with the same setup for new co-ops as is available to the CEO. It was built with the intention of creating a comfortable space that provided some of the luxuries of working from home or a nearby coffee shop while creating a space that employees are proud to show off.

The office combines many of the aspects more common in downtown offices, such as open space and a variety of huddle spaces. Additionally, it boasts some of the advantages of a more suburban office, such as more generous space per person, easy parking, and larger communal spaces.
