KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Feb. 14, 2020) – The Kansas City Business Journal and Healthiest Employers LLC named Burns & McDonnell the No. 1 Healthiest Employer in the 5,000+ Employees category. This is the third consecutive year the engineering, construction and architecture firm has been recognized among the Healthiest Employers in Kansas City.

“Health and wellness are important to me both personally and as a leader of our 100% employee-owned firm,” says Ray Kowalik, CEO and chairman of Burns & McDonnell. “Our goal is to provide the resources and amenities our employee-owners need to lead healthy lives.
