At CH2M HILL, it is not really a work–life balance. It is more like a work–life sliding scale. Some projects are going to require extra hours. Then other times you will have crises or sick children at home which require your immediate attention or you will need time off for classes or appointments.
Flexibility
Flexibility in your schedule is not just nice–to–have, it is vital to your ability to fit in all the aspects of your life. At CH2M HILL, we support flexibility. Even with a high workload, we support attempts to tailor that load so employees can maintain their work-life balance. Most staff work independently and can accommodate both home and work, as needed.
Options
To accommodate your diverse needs and personal commitments, we offer the following:
Alternative Work Arrangements—providing several alternative schedules to help employees balance work and personal needs.
Teleworking—enabling employees to work all or part of their scheduled hours away from the office, yet remain connected thanks to the joys of technology and electronics.
Sabbatical/Family Leave—giving those who have been here awhile the opportunity to return to full-time study, spend more time with family, or cruise around the world—insert your own desire here. Just come back when you are done.
Employee Assistance / Work Life Programme—offering free, confidential counselling services and professional referral service to help employees faced with challenges.
Credit Union—allowing more flexibility and options for employee financial services. The Credit Union offers a variety of accounts including savings, certificate, IRA, checking, consumer and real estate loans, and free online investment services.
