PCL Makes Top 100 Best Places to Work List

Bellevue - The PCL family of companies announced it was recognized as one of the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For in the U.S. The company is listed as sixty-fifth and is only one of six companies in the design and construction industry to make the list.

Companies are scored on four areas: credibility (communication to employees), respect (opportunities and benefits), fairness (compensation and diversity), and pride/camaraderie (philanthropy and celebrations). Companies that are at least seven years old and have 1,000 or more employees are eligible for the list.

The 100 Best Companies to Work For list is compiled for FORTUNE by the Great Place to Work institute in San Francisco and is based on two criteria: an evaluation of the policies and culture of each company, and the opinions of the company's employees. The latter is given more weight with two-thirds of the total score gathered from employee responses to a survey which goes to a minimum of 400 randomly selected employees from each company.
