Retention is a critical factor in the success of any organization. When team members stay with a company, it’s a sign of a positive and supportive work environment. At Baisch, we have an average tenure of over 12 years. This is significantly higher than most engineering firms.
Why do our team members stay at Baisch? We asked and the answers weren’t a surprise to us. Let us share some of those reasons with you!
Positive Work Culture
Baisch is extremely proud of our team environment. In a recent survey, a team member shared, “Baisch does an excellent job combining work/fun to make for an enjoyable environment.” Baisch offers fun events like baseball games, cookouts, and wellness and cooking challenges to focus on team environment.
Work-Life Balance
“Baisch offers very flexible work hours. Employees can flex their weekly hours to be present in other life events.” This team member says it all; Baisch strives to not only provide the best service to our clients but to accomplish that by being flexible with our team members as well.
Competitive Compensation and Benefits
In this highly competitive job market, Baisch is continually looking to ensure our team members are compensated well and provided exceptional benefits. One team member shared, “Baisch has the best overall compensation and benefits packages I have ever seen. Great pay, paid insurance premiums, yearly bonuses, great 401k plan, and a profit-sharing bonus are all very generous!”.
Challenging and Engaging Work
One reason this team member stays at Baisch is because, “Baisch provides interesting and challenging work.” While another indicated, “new opportunities” were a reason to stay. Baisch wants our team members to succeed, and we love a good challenge! Opportunities to work on meaningful and impactful projects give our team members opportunities to grow and have a sense of accomplishment.
Growth Opportunities for Team Members
“Baisch allows a person to exceed their capabilities. We are given tasks of high standards and are expected to execute at a high level. This can add some stress at times, but we are all surrounded by great people that are highly educated and motivated to solve problems. It is a very pride rich atmosphere that is quite contagious!” Baisch is proud to have team members who are excited to learn AND team members who are willing to teach.
Community and Connection
Baisch fosters a sense of team within the company. One team member said, “I felt more welcomed and appreciated in the first 6 months of being here than in the ten years at my old job.”
We have been part of the Kaukauna community for over 66 years. As part of the community, we enjoy supporting educational efforts of local high schools as well as the business community. In addition, we offer volunteer opportunities to encourage our team members to give back to the community. “Baisch Engineering is an active part of the community in multiple area high school leadership and engineering societies,” said another employee.
Purpose and Meaning
Every company wants to work on projects that have meaning and a fulfilling purpose and Baisch is no exception. Whether our projects require a few hours or a few years, the work we do brings success to our clients which ultimately brings success to our team. One team member summed it up perfectly with this comment, “I am proud to work for Baisch Engineering because our reputation supersedes us. If we’re on the job, the client knows the outcome of the project will be a success.”
There isn’t just one thing that encourages team members to stay. It’s a culmination of culture, benefits, exciting work and the success of our team. We are so proud of our team and look forward to many more team member’s years of service celebrations!
