James Dolenc and Tom Riker on creating a firm that’s built to last

James Dolenc and Tom Riker, the co-founders of Chicago-based firm James Thomas, are rounding out their firm’s 23rd year in business. That longevity, they say, is all thanks to their team—a group that’s invested in the firm’s long-term success, and supported by initiatives designed to boost work-life balance and pave the way for advancement within the firm. In the episode, they share their secrets to long-term employee retention, the benefits of a four-day workweek and why collaboration and separation play equal roles in their partnership.
