McCarthy was named one of the Top 20 Work Places for 2008 by the Orange County Register. The award was announced at an award ceremony in the Hoiles Auditorium at The Orange County Register in Santa Ana on Tuesday, December 9, 2008.
“McCarthy is one of the largest and most respected builders in Orange County and throughout the country. We couldn’t have earned this prominent status without the hard work and talent of the best and most dedicated individuals in the construction industry,” said Carter Chappell, McCarthy President, California Region. “As an employee owned company, McCarthy owner-employees have a strong voice in everything we do from employee benefits and training, to community outreach and workplace safety. It is through these individual efforts that McCarthy has become a great place to work.”
In its inaugural year, the Orange County Register’s Top Places to Work in Orange County selects companies to receive this honor from an extensive employer’s survey as well as employee surveys focusing on leadership, compensation and training, workplace flexibility and diversity. 141 companies and more than 23,325employees participated in the best workplace competition. McCarthy ranked #3 in the mid-size companies category of employers with 150-499 workers in Orange County.
McCarthy’s employee satisfaction is further documented in the firm’s recent Employee Engagement Survey where employees were asked to rate McCarthy on a scale from 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest) as a great place to work. With an 82% participation rate, the firm’s average score was a 4.52. McCarthy employees cite jobsite security, employee ownership, open communication with management, workplace safety, community outreach and volunteering, environmental stewardship, benefits and training among the reasons why McCarthy is an exceptional workplace.
