Stingy Company and Management - Anonymous employee HVJ Associates Employee Review

We thank you for the feedback and we’re disappointed that your experience with us wasn’t as positive as it could have been. HVJ Associates strives to be a workplace that offers challenging and rewarding work and remains competitive within our industry. To do so, we participate in compensation surveys and obtain data annually, and we evaluate our total rewards package including salary, benefits, time off, etc. on an annual basis and we make adjustments as necessary to be an attractive option for Geotechnical engineering professionals. We will explore opportunities to discuss our compensation guidelines with employees more frequently. We conduct an annual employee satisfaction survey, which you likely participated in when you worked here, that is one of many opportunities for employees to share directly with the management team their feelings about the organization. In addition to that, we conduct an annual speculation meeting with all departments that is a forum to discuss what things the firm should be focused on in the near term that will improve upon the business and the environment for employees and clients alike. Finally, managers conduct meetings with their employees on a regular basis to discuss progress, growth opportunity and to address concerns, and HR initiates a feedback request for voluntary terminations. If there is a problem, you are encouraged to share it so we can address and resolve it effectively together. With very few exceptions, the firm has paid out annual incentive bonuses to all employees based upon the profitability, growth and stakeholder satisfaction of the firm. We have also been recognized as a PSMJ Circle of Excellence winner on multiple occasions, a component of which is the satisfaction rating of the firm’s employees. We are excited and proud of the growth of our newly minted franchises in Dallas and Austin, both of which are owned by former HVJ employees who started and grew with us, and turned that growth into firm ownership of their own. We will continue to offer these tremendous growth and training opportunities to our employees now and into the future.
