Inc. Honors K3 for Culture of Excellence
GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Co., June 18, 2025 — K3 Technology is proud to announce it has been named as one of Inc.’s 2025 Best Workplaces.
The award celebrates companies with exceptional workplaces and vibrant cultures that support employee teams and client businesses. The list highlights top-scoring U.S. businesses with sky-high employee satisfaction. In addition, the accolade recognizes workplaces where employees willingly go above and beyond in their work, advocate for the organization, and intend to stay into the future.
Honoree selection involved a detailed employee survey conducted by Quantum Workplace, covering critical elements such as management effectiveness, professional development, perks, and overall company culture. Scoring also factors in employee benefits. K3 Technology is honored to earn this recognition among just 514 companies awarded nationwide.
When asked what word best describes their work environment, employees’ most common response was collaborative. K3 Technology prioritizes workplace culture by fostering a collaborative, high-performance environment where employees feel valued, empowered, and supported. Leadership emphasizes transparency, accountability, and personal growth—ensuring that every team member has the resources and opportunities to excel.
"We invest in continuous learning, professional development, and innovation while promoting work-life balance," said Kelly Kercher, K3 Technology founder & CEO. "Open communication, strong relationships, and an inclusive workplace are at the core of our culture."
Beyond providing managed IT services, K3 Technology serves as a strategic technology partner, helping businesses navigate today’s ever-evolving landscape. We believe in investing in people, leading with compassion, and empowering success. That means celebrating wins, learning from challenges, and supporting each other in achieving individual and company goals. We've seen that operating with a people-first approach drives engagement, boosts retention, and creates a dynamic environment enabling future-forward solutions.
“Inc.’s Best Workplaces program celebrates the exceptional organizations whose workplace cultures address their employees’ welfare and needs in meaningful ways,” said Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc. “As companies expand and adapt to changing economic forces, maintaining such a culture is no small feat. Yet these honorees have not only achieved it—they continue to elevate the employee experience through thoughtful benefits, engagement, and a deep commitment to their teams.”
The scoring process invited our team members to answer several open-ended questions about their experience at K3. Here’s an overview of responses:
“Every company talks about their culture and how they empower their people, it seems so common it's become unremarkable, so I didn't expect anything other than the status quo when I joined K3. But was I wrong. This company is an absolute powerhouse that will grow exponentially over the next few years, and the engine powering that is their people. That engine doesn't run without leadership giving it the fuel it needs to succeed. This goes beyond training and money, this is as much related to culture and empowerment, both professionally and personally, as it is to standard workplace things.”
“K3 is a small and scrappy company where everybody knows everybody, dedicated to getting things done. Our teams share a common goal: empowering our clients to excel in their businesses, much like a close-knit family of businesses. At K3, every voice is heard and every opinion matters, with senior members and management working diligently to address any issues raised. While we acknowledge that, as a young company, we’re still refining our processes and best practices, every challenge serves as a learning opportunity that drives our continuous improvement.”
“From day one, our founder and CEO has prioritized people and company culture—a commitment clearly reflected in how seamlessly our team collaborates and thrives together. In just a few short years, we've grown from 4 to over 20 team members, consistently attracting individuals who enhance and enrich our unique culture. It's uncommon to find a managed service provider (MSP) or IT company with such an exceptional work–life balance and a dedicated focus on both personal development and organizational growth.”
“K3 is a great organization that really cares about its employees. There is an emphasis on growth, structure, and culture that makes it an exciting and fulfilling place to work. Employees are rewarded and recognized for their skills and encouraged to progress their careers. It really feels like leadership has a strong plan to grow the company and bring everyone along with them.”
“I've worked with a few other MSPs, and K3’s focus on finding and working with the right customer helps provide a great work environment. The leaders always lean in to assist, while the executive team is very supportive on all levels. K3 Technology, is a great place to work!”
