| Balfour Beatty Construction named one of Fortune’s best employers for 2013 For the fourth consecutive year, Fortune magazine recognises Balfour Beatty Construction for its commitment to employees by placing the company on its prestigious "100 Best Companies to Work For " list. The company ranks #85 this year. To pick the 100 Best Companies to Work For, Fortune partners with the Great Place to Work Institute to conduct the most extensive employee survey in corporate America. This year, more than 277,000 employees at hundreds of companies responded to a survey created by the institute, a global research and consulting firm operating in 45 countries around the world. Two-thirds of a company's score is based on the results of the institute's Trust Index survey, which is sent to a random sample of employees from each company. The survey asks questions related to their attitudes about management's credibility, job satisfaction and camaraderie. The other third is based on responses to the institute's Culture Audit, which includes detailed questions about pay and benefit programs and a series of open-ended questions about hiring practices, methods of internal communication, training, recognition programs and diversity efforts. Any company that is at least five years old and has more than 1,000 U.S. employees is eligible. write your comments about the article :: © 2013 Construction News :: home page |
