Business Outlook

Pros

There aren’t many, but the few positives in the office are a handful of genuinely nice people in the office (these are the people who do most of the actual work performed), and free coffee.

Cons

Communication. Management staff does not clearly communicate information down to their staff that is necessary to perform day-to-day activities. Any information that is communicated is unclear and creates confusion and dysfunction between work units. Nepotism. Nepotism is rampant in the office. People are hired based upon who they know in management staff. Individuals are promoted with no job announcements posted. And individuals have been promoted and kept in positions of authority for either having extra curricular relationships with management staff or having knowledge of these extra curricular relationships. Morale. Morale in the office has been low for years. Attempts at improving morale by management staff have been weak and consist mainly of holding company sponsored outings during business hours that employees must use their PTO to attend.

Thanks for your feedback. Now that we’ve transitioned to the Client-centric Operating Model, we’re working to identify channels to reach people managers so they have the information they need to be successful in their roles. We ask for your patience as we work out the details, but know that communication is a priority for the company. We encourage you to listen to the Employee Roundtable, where our CEO and other leaders discuss the key happenings at CH2M. You can also listen to the quarterly earnings call, where our CEO and CFO communicate the financial results and outlook for the business. More than 100 great stories have been posted on the company intranet, the VO, since January that talk about the operating model change, great wins and exciting awards. We hope you take advantage of these resources so that you’re seeing the focus that management has on growing the business profitably.
