KLH Engineers Response
8yWe appreciate the feedback from our employees. Input such as this helps us improve our ability to mentor our professionals and build a positive culture. For 62 years, KLH has promoted individual professional development, inclusion, and community service, which is why we succeed.
Our Catalytic Coaching program was established to provide daily mentorship as opposed to one year-end employee review. Each employee has a Coach serving as a mentor, a personalized professional development plan, and individual and corporate accountability to the program. We are committed to giving our Team the tools to technically succeed in the engineering industry. This includes the very best technologies, training, performance metrics, and best practices in engineering. At all times, our employees know how they are performing and are given guidance for improvement, if required.
We are transparent, inclusive, and active with our colleagues. Our entire staff of 120 members has been engaged in some aspect of the firm’s strategic plan. We build relationships through company events such as our annual March Madness celebration, Reds game outing, and company picnic, in addition to monthly happy hours, Office Olympics, Keeneland outings, and many more. We continue to attract and recruit top talent, and are seeing increased opportunities for diversity including a workforce of nearly 20% female professionals. And our tuition assistance program has helped working-employees achieve their college or technical degrees.
We are thanking the communities that help made us successful through service. Each employee is granted 10 hours of paid volunteer time during regular business hours. We have established the “Keep-Lending-A-Hand” program that allows employees to submit internal grant applications for financial contributions to a charitable organization they serve. Programs like these are a result of listening to our employees.
We thank each existing and past employee who have contributed to the firm’s success, and will continue to encourage your future professional endeavors wherever they may be. For those yet to experience this type of culture, we welcome you to explore and join our Team!
