“We make this place great” is a core ‘MacCulture’ principle for global engineering, architecture and construction firm Burns & McDonnell.
With over 70 employees at its UK base in Birmingham, the firm prides itself on its ‘togetherness’, which encourages strong relationships between teammates and better solutions for clients in sectors including power transmission and high-tech manufacturing.
The company attributes its low turnover rate to its relationship-driven and entrepreneurial approach and investment in its employees’ personal development.
Through an in-house training hub, staff have easy access to training that fits their roles and 25,000 titles at their fingertips. The company’s Education & Training Team conducts assessments to help teams identify and apply their strengths effectively. And employees taking advanced technical degrees, Masters in administration, and some undergraduate degrees can get tuition assistance and have their fees covered.
Burns & McDonnell rewards its team members for spreading the word about what a great place it is to work. It pays £1000 for all successful hires – £2000 if an employee finds a suitable candidate in a double-bonus month.
The firm is always looking for opportunities to connect employees, whether through its on or off-site social events or strong communications, including weekly team huddles or its intranet – ‘the hub for all things Burns & Mac’.
I am happy with the balance between my work and home life
Quiet rooms as a safe space for prayer, meditation and reflection are a feature of many Burns & MacDonnell offices – part of creating a diverse and inclusive environment where “people feel comfortable speaking up and living authentically as themselves.” Monthly wellbeing sessions include breakfasts, toolkit talks, and experience sharing.
I feel a strong sense of family in my team
Through the MacCulture Recognition programme, employees who demonstrate the company’s values accumulate points to exchange for prizes. There are also one and five-year service awards where employees can choose from exclusive brand merchandise. And staff get a special award package for milestone anniversaries, starting from 10 years.
I feel that my manager talks openly and honestly with me
The manager mentor programme matches those new to management with seasoned managers with similar interests or work-life situations. It provides advice and guidance and gives new managers somebody to bounce ideas off and learn from. It also supports relationship-building with other managers throughout the company.
