V3 Companies Response
4yThank you for your review. While we don’t respond to every negative review, we would like to correct a few points:
• We are a growing and busy firm and at times our employees do work overtime which is common in our industry. One of our firm’s core values is Dedication to Employees. We believe that our people are our most valuable asset and V3’s HR Department takes their responsibility to provide high level service to our 300+ employees very seriously.
• Like most firms, we use a variety of recruitment sources to find and hire talented individuals. One of those sources is our Employee Referral Program and through it, we encourage our staff to refer qualified individuals from their network. Whether candidates come to V3 through the Employee Referral Program, or through one of our many other diverse recruitment sources, we strive to hire the best people based on merit and qualifications.
• V3 is committed to providing an environment that is both challenging and rewarding. We have many employees who have been with V3 for 20+ years. We believe there are numerous reasons why employees join V3 and choose to remain here for a long time. We offer flexible remote work schedules; opportunities to volunteer during the work week through our V3 Social Responsibility (VSR) program, individual and team wellness activities and challenges through our REVITALIZE Wellness Program; and fun social events where we enjoy hanging out with our coworkers. We believe these types of programs and events help our employees have a healthy work-life balance.
• The engineering industry as a whole is striving to become more diverse. Although there is more work to do, we are committed to increasing diversity within our firm. V3’s Diversity & Inclusion Committee has several programs and initiatives that are aimed toward building a diverse and inclusive workplace. V3 offers a scholarship program for minority engineering students. The program provides financial, professional and personal support to the selected recipients. We also partner with local mentoring organizations in diverse areas to provide support to high school students who may be interested in STEM education programs. We celebrate diversity by recognizing Heritage Months such as Black History Month, Women’s History Month, PRIDE, etc. In order to ensure new employees feel a sense of belonging, a V3 Welcome Committee hosts social events for new employees joining V3. In addition, we are committed to diversity training and workplace awareness by providing training opportunities to staff. These are just a few examples of what V3 is doing to help create a more diverse and inclusive workplace that fosters a respectful and welcoming environment for all employees.
