KANSAS CITY, Missouri — For the third consecutive year, Burns & McDonnell has been named one of the Best Workplaces in Consulting and Professional Services by Great Place to Work. The 100% employee-owned design and construction firm earned the No. 14 spot on the list.

The annual ranking recognizes companies striving to maximize employee growth and organizational development throughout the workplace. To determine this year’s list, Great Place to Work analyzed survey feedback from more than 357,000 employees working in the consulting and professional service industries nationwide. Survey respondents were asked to evaluate more than 60 elements of their workplace culture, including daily experiences of innovation, belief in company values and trust in executive leadership.

“Throughout our firm’s 120-year history, we’ve stood by our clients and communities in the good times and the bad, dedicated to providing world-class client service,” says Ray Kowalik, chairman and CEO of Burns & McDonnell. “Today, our firm’s promise — to stand with our clients and communities, to continue delivering innovative, sustainable projects and to provide the help and support needed to keep moving forward — is stronger than ever.”

“COVID-19 creates very unpredictable and rapidly changing markets for Consulting & Professional Services companies,” said Michael Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work. “Companies on this list stand out for the high level of trust they have built with their entire workforce. High-trust, ‘For All’ cultures enable these organizations today to quickly adjust to remote work arrangements and to successfully navigate through uncertain times.”
