How Garver brought employees closer together, one video at a time

Garver, a century-strong engineering firm with a presence in 20 states and over 1,300 employees, has always believed in putting people first. This commitment isn’t just a company motto — it’s the heart of everything they do. But how do you keep that spirit alive across 60 offices? For Garver, the answer came in the form of a video. What began as a single, fun project in 2014 has evolved into a daily tradition that now shapes its vibrant culture with a bit of help from Vimeo.

Challenge

In 2014, Garver was looking for a way to bring its unique culture to life, starting with the company’s annual Summit event. The Communications Team pitched a lighthearted video idea to leadership, and it took off. That first video was a hit. Employees connected in a way they hadn’t before, and suddenly, video content became central to Garver’s internal communications.

But as the use of video grew, so did the challenges. The team’s traditional methods — text-heavy emails and a clunky video platform — weren’t cutting it. They needed a solution that could keep pace with their creativity and truly reflect the energy of Garver’s culture.

Solution

The turning point came with the adoption of Vimeo Enterprise which helped Garver’s communications team to seamlessly integrate video into their daily routine. With intuitive features like the teleprompter and easy editing tools, even non-technical team members could jump in, making the daily videos a collaborative effort and saving time across their content workflow.

“Our content was missing that spark — it needed to reflect who we are as a company.”

"Switching to Vimeo was a game changer," Darla shares. "It wasn’t just about making videos easier to create — it was about making them matter more." Now, every morning, employees tune in to a quick, two-minute video update to start the day informed and feel connected to something bigger.

Outcome

The impact of these daily videos has been profound. Employee engagement has significantly increased, with the daily updates becoming a beloved part of Garver’s workday. People feel more connected, informed, and part of the Garver community than ever before.

"It’s amazing how something as simple as a daily video can make everyone feel more connected," Darla notes. "These videos reinforce the values that make Garver a great workplace."

The benefits extend beyond internal engagement. Garver’s authentic, vibrant culture, now showcased through these videos, has become a key part of its recruitment strategy, attracting talent who see firsthand what it’s like to work at a company that truly values its people.

"Our commitment to a people-first culture is now more visible and accessible than ever, thanks to Vimeo," Darla tells us.
