Benefits
Supporting Our Employees
There’s life at work and life outside of work. Bolton & Menk has a number of benefit programs and amenities to support you and your family throughout whatever stage of life you are in.
One of the most significant differentiators of our firm for those seeking a stable and high potential career is the Ownership Structure of Bolton & Menk.
One-third of our firm is owned by all our employees through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), allowing us to reward hard work, dedication, and results. Two-thirds of our firm is owned by the practicing professionals who continually invest their time and talent to ensure client and employee satisfaction.
We are NOT guided by an investment group looking to capitalize and profit from your efforts, and we are not driven by a stock exchange and market forces uninterested in the people of the company. In addition, our ownership structure, in which no single individual currently owns over 3.5% of the company shares, allows us to maintain a consistent leadership transition plan to those that know and care about the firm and its people from within the organization.
Giving our team members a platform to influence company decisions is at the core of how we operate. We have established a diverse set of thought-influencing teams, with participation from all levels of the company, that directly contribute to decisions made at our executive leadership level.
We encourage our employees to keep learning. We provide education assistance, licensure and certification prep, paid training, and a mentorship program.
At Bolton & Menk, all employees have direct access to the leadership of the company to make sure their voice is heard. Our leaders want you to grow and succeed and will be there every step of the way, making sure you are equipped with the necessary resources to be on the path to success.
We prioritize innovation and creativity, so much so we dedicate nearly 100,000 hours to it each year. Clients see creativity and functional innovation in every service area – from landscape architecture to traffic safety to public engagement – and benefit from our curiosity and tenacity to make things better.
Our Product Innovation Team ensures our product offerings to our clients are relevant, compelling, and well-packaged, enabling us to ever-improve and deepen our client service capabilities and our ability to compete.
Our Process Innovation Team ensures our operational processes are serving the company as best they can to maintain our competitive advantage.
