About HDR Consulting company in Lincoln, United States
With every project we ask the same question: whats our impact on the world?
From designing a road that improves mobility to a hospital that heals we take to heart our role in making the world a better smarter safer place. We think globally and act locally to improve the places where we live and work.
It begins by working together with our clients and communities ending each time with collaborations that add meaning and value. We know every small action yields great results.
Both as individuals and as a company we take pride in supporting efforts to better our communities — not just financially but also with our time. Whether its providing basic needs beautifying a public place or leading enriching activities we are passionate about being engaged.
Many of our team members also volunteer with aid organizations such as Bridges to Prosperity and Engineers Without Borders giving their time and sharing their professional talents to provide communities around the world access to healthcare clean water and modern energy grids. And through Design 4 Others more than 200 of our employees have provided architecture engineering and planning services to communities in need. Recent projects have included a new school in Kenya to expand capacity and increase the number of students who have access to education and a new outpatient clinic in rural Malawi that provides community-based care to more than 20000 residents.
In addition in 2012 we created the HDR Foundation. Fueled by donations from our employees the Foundation provides support to nonprofit organizations in the communities in which we live and work. Since its inception the Foundation has awarded nearly $3 million in grants.
We realize that a variety of perspectives makes our company stronger. And so we strive to create a work environment in which employees of different generations genders colors races sexual orientations disabilities religions and ethnicities work together to deliver one-of-a-kind services to our clients.
Our dedication to building a workforce that reflects the rich cultures of our local communities goes beyond just putting in place policies to protect human rights. We recently launched five programs aimed at broadening awareness and promoting inclusion. Efforts include the development of a training program to help employees be aware of unconscious biases along with a web-based tool to prepare our workforce for working in other countries and with other cultures. We are also working with universities and local schools to support opportunities for young people in math engineering and science because we believe this cultivates a more diverse workforce.
We want our employees to bring their best self to work which is why we work hard to make wellness a significant part of our culture. Our full-time wellness manager along with over 130 volunteer employee wellness coordinators dedicate their time to promoting healthy lifestyles through multidimensional wellness initiatives. From health education to tobacco cessation programs and financial wellness the goal is to improve the quality of life for our employees and their families.
And while we want our employees to come to work happy and healthy we also strive to make sure they go home safely — every day. We foster a culture of safe behavior to ensure a safe work environment both in the office and on our project sites. Careful planning comprehensive training continual observation and feedback root cause analyses and consistent management support are the cornerstones of our philosophy that ’good enough’ is never good enough when it comes to safety.
