Firm Named One of 50 Best Companies to Work For

Our employees enjoy working for CH2M, and the 50 Best Companies to Work For in America list by Business Insider further confirms it!  Business Insider, a U.S.-based business and technology news website, named us #25 on its list.  

CH2M is well known as one of the country’s most admired companies.  Recently named for the seventh consecutive year as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies by the Ethisphere Institute, this is also the second time CH2M has been named to Business Insider’s 50 Best list (previously in 2013).  

This prestigious ranking was developed by Business Insider, teamed up with the employer-information website PayScale, to find U.S. companies that stand out in pay, happiness, and other criteria.  The ranking was also based on surveys of employees from the 2014 Fortune 500 list of the largest companies in the U.S.  

To create this list, companies in the 2014 Fortune 500 list were ranked using PayScale’s salary and survey database.  Final scores were determined by multiplying six criteria:  high job satisfaction, low job stress, ability to telecommute, high job meaning, experienced median pay, and salary data.  

What makes this recognition especially significant for CH2M is that the firm did not submit any information for this ranking.  Instead, Business Insider named us based solely on employee opinion and feedback.  

“With our global reputation for being a great place to work and one of the world’s most ethical companies, and as a firm that values richness of diversity and experience, CH2M provides a workplace where employees embrace challenge and creativity – making real and lasting impacts on their clients, their communities, and their careers,” said Chief OneHR Officer John Madia.  “This is the kind of workplace that leads to high job satisfaction and makes our company highly sought after as an employer.”  

In a related story, CH2M ranked 189 in The Guardian UK 300 (up from 277 a year ago).  “The firm is the only engineering services company on this list,” John says, “and literally a spot away in beating tech companies like Intel and Apple.”
