Values We Share

Brookfield is an incredible incubator for people who want to learn, grow and develop their careers– and who are willing to stretch beyond their comfort zones. We hire for potential, believing that career development comes from collaborative, hands-on exposure to all facets of our business. As a result, our employees share information across groups and take an interest in all our businesses, not just the ones they are working in.

Our employees understand that creative thinking, coupled with being passionate about not only what they do but also how Brookfield does it, means our shared values extend far beyond simply generating more revenue. We focus on long-term success by caring about the little things, being accountable to our culture, colleagues and partners, and treating everyone -both internally and externally-with respect.

We encourage our employees to embrace a “roll your sleeves up” spirit that has flourished during our incredible growth over the past 20 years.

Many of our senior leaders have the talent and skills to run major public companies, but they choose to be at Brookfield because they can own and run a part of the business. Oftentimes, projects are executed by employees – both new and veteran – where everyone sits at the table and is encouraged to bring ideas and solutions for consideration, regardless of tenure or seniority.

We also believe that it is imperative for employees to understand their strengths, recognize their weaknesses and ask for help when needed. And while we ask our employees to take a long-term view, they are also expected to pay attention to the detail of today

That same discipline is applied to our investment approach, which is based on patience and being prudent with capital. We buy assets on a value basis, leverage our operating expertise, and build downside protection into our portfolios. We carefully evaluate opportunities, and we’ve highly selective, passing on the most prospective transactions because they don’t meet our investment criteria.
