Work-Life Balance
At CH2M HILL it is not really a work–life balance. It is more like a work–life sliding scale. There are some projects that are just going to require extra hours. Then there are the fires at home that require your immediate attention, or you need to be home with your sick child, or you need time for that class that you have signed up to take.
Flexibility
Flexibility in your schedule is not just a 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:
- 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, remaining 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 Program—offering free, confidential counselling services and professional referral service to help employees faced with challenges.
- Credit Union—offering a variety of accounts including savings, certificate, IRA, checking, as well as consumer and real estate loans and free online investment services.
- "CH2M HILL is a great place to work because it is a top–tier, highly respected company where employees are given flexibility to execute their work in many ‘nontraditional’ ways. Whether you telecommute, work part-time or flex time, or work a regular day, you can be equally successful at your job."
