SSOE Receives Parent Friendly Workplace Award

The Parent Friendly Workplace Award recognizes a company/organization that is supportive of family obligations and is a great place to work. Employees need flexibility to make decisions in the best interest of their families while meeting their employment responsibilities. This award honors employers who understand and allow that flexibility.

At SSOE, work-life balance is a key value and is one of the factors contributing to our 95% employee retention rate. An important aspect of attracting and retaining the best people is offering them what they want and need from an employer.

SSOE Wins HR Award for Excellence

SSOE is proud to announce that once again we have been honored for our outstanding Human Resources program in the form of the 2008 Human Resources Award for Excellence from the University of Toledo and the Toledo Area Human Resources Association. This award was presented based on SSOE’s outstanding recruitment program as well as our clear career progression track, industry leading 401(k) and profit sharing plans, flexible benefits program, wellness program and training and development program all resulting in an impressive retention rate—95%.

Best AEC Firm to Work For - 2007

In their May 2007 issue, Building Design + Construction Magazine named SSOE a "Best AEC Firm to Work For." This honor is given to the top nine Architecture, Engineering, and Construction firms in the nation and is a valuable third-party endorsement of our efforts as we compete to attract and retain top talent to our firm in a tight architecture and engineering labor market.

The award was based on SSOE's holistic approach to the “total employment value proposition” we offer employees including:

• a creative benefits program based on flexible credits that can be applied to design an individualized package that reflects each employee’s need. This credit-based system includes the ability to buy and sell vacation time, apply unused credits toward additional life insurance or long-term care insurance, and participate in a choice of three distinct health insurance plans.
• programs that enhance work-life balance including free access to counseling services and lifestyle and disease management coaches through third party suppliers.
• our training and development program includes in- and out-of-house training as well as tuition reimbursement programs for higher education.
