Atlas Technical Consultants Inc. (Atlas or the Company), a leading
infrastructure and environmental solutions provider, has been
recognized as one of America’s Greatest Workplaces for Diversity
and Women by Newsweek and research firm, Plant-A Insights Group.
Securing the highest evaluation of five stars for “Greatest
Workplaces for Diversity” and four-and-a-half-stars for “Greatest
Workplaces for Women” amidst larger companies, this honor reaffirms
Atlas’ dedication to fostering the recruitment and progression of
individuals across different age groups, races, genders, sexual
orientations, and abilities.
“We are honored to receive this acknowledgment as it reflects
our company’s commitment to championing a culture that is rich in
diversity and welcoming of all backgrounds,” said Atlas CEO Jacque
Hinman. “Creating an inclusive workplace where everyone feels a
sense of belonging is fundamental to the growth and resiliency of
our organization in today’s ever-evolving industry.”
The selection process for both categories included analysis of
public data, interviews with HR professionals, and numerous
anonymous employee surveys that assessed workplace environment,
compensation, and work-life balance, among other topics.
“We want to create an environment that empowers and celebrates
each person’s unique perspective and authentic self,” said Jamie
Myers, Atlas’ Chief Diversity Officer and Vice President of
Marketing. “It starts at the individual level but can be seen in
our collective success.”
