Burns + McDonnell is a family of companies bringing together 13,500 engineers, architects and construction professionals to design and build infrastructure.
Taking Ownership: As a 100% employee-owned company for 35 years, employees participate in the profitability on their first day at no cost. The firm has a turnover rate of 5%.
Employee Recognition: Through Burns + McDonnell’s “MacCulture” recognition, managers honor employee/owners via point incentives that can be redeemed for gift cards or merchandise. Non-monetary peer-to-peer recognition is also given.
Fun & Relaxation: Employees mark Employee Ownership Month in October with a pancake breakfast and family trick or treat. The company celebrates its founders each April with lunch and a silent auction to benefit a charity.
