We are looking at your feedback and will use your responses to help plan for the future. One thing we heard loud and clear is that 91 percent of you said you are proud to work at McCarthy. McCarthy is so grateful to have each and every one of you as part of our team. We couldn’t do what we do without you. We also heard from the survey that financial security and additional training and development are your top priorities. You can expect to hear more in response to the survey in the coming months as we work through your feedback.
As part of that feedback, this fall we will distribute personalized Total Rewards Statements outlining the contributions McCarthy makes to your compensation and benefits. These confidential statements reflect the value of McCarthy’s investment in you, our number one asset.
BENEFITS OPEN ENROLLMENT COMING SOON
October 25 – November 9 is your chance to enroll or make changes to your benefits coverage for 2023. We heard in the survey that you prefer to get benefits information via text so watch for a text with more details in October.
We realize that your benefits are provided through the union, so benefit questions will need to be addressed directly through them. However, in addition to the services you get through your union partners, we offer benefits and services that can help you and your family, including Employee Assistance Programs.
