AECOM: Engineering a Culture of Care
The Challenge
AECOM leadership recognized that, to bring the best services and resources to their clients around the world, they must retain — and attract — the best talent. They identified three key goals to meet their strategic objectives: unify their employer brand and foster an inclusive culture; increase female leadership; and support ALL employees and their families.
AECOM's HR leadership implemented a Diversity and Inclusion Program that overhauled the company's parental leave program, as well as improved family care benefits. The company also partnered with Care@Work by Care.com to offer a wide range of family care benefits to its North American employees — including company‐subsidized backup care for children, backup care for adults, and senior care planning. Employees also received free, premium membership to Care.com, giving them unlimited access to the world's largest network of caregivers for children, seniors, pets, and the home.
