Case Studies
Axis Flooring Systems
Company Overview:
Axis Interior Systems, a commercial flooring business founded by Michael Ansari, joined the Goering Center in 2015. Over the course of his membership, Michael has been very involved with the Center, participating in institutes, breakfasts, luncheons, and multi-day programs.
In 2016, Michael participated in the Leadership Development Institute™ and joined a Roundtable. In the same year, Axis Interior Systems was a semi-finalist of the Center’s annual Family and Private Business Awards.
In 2022, Michael and his team participated in the first iteration of Becoming a Best Place to Work (formerly known as “Scrappy Culture™”). “What drew us to [Best Places to Work] was that we had an internal communication problem, and we didn’t know how to fix it,” explains Ansari. Michael has become a champion and spokesman for the program as a result of the incredible positive impact it has had on his team and business.

Summary:
In 2022, Michael and his team participated Becoming a Best Place to Work: An Action Plan for Leadership –a new Goering Center program where he found the utmost value, especially after COVID-19. Some of the most significant challenges his company faced included employee retention, onboarding, and communication. Becoming a Best Place to Work addressed all of the company’s issues and helped his team make simple yet impactful improvements. Although the company has not been through a full annual cycle since adopting the materials and processes delivered by the program, the variety of topics covered, the tools and worksheets provided, and learning how to incorporate best practices into the everyday functions of their business have been key to Michael and his leadership team, and he is certain that they will continue.
