CHA has a lot of potential

Pros

CHA has a lot of potential in project growth and relational growth with its clients. It’s nice to work in an environment that is looking to grow both in doing bigger and more interesting projects but also in investing new technology and approaches to work.

Cons

Both upper and mid level management struggle at times to really make the working bee level employee feel valued.

I couldn't agree with you more! Employees are at the center of our success. Engaged staff = elated clients, everyday all day. Our leaders, are working leaders and admittedly sometimes lose that sharp focus needed to ensure everyone feels engaged. We are working hard to provide the tools and resources our leaders need so they can effectively balance their work and being the best most impactful leader possible for their teams. Keep up the good work; we appreciate you and all your contributions!

I understand that the transition our people go through when we acquire a firm can be challenging. Even though we work with the firms we acquire to ensure there are more synergies than differences, I sure it can feel like a bit of a culture shock for our new teammates. But all our work gives us confidence it’s a good match; we know Javan is a great fit for CHA and vice versa. As for being bean counters 😉 We like to think of ourselves as extremely thoughtful and deliberate. We want to ensure we are making the best decisions so that our business remains healthy and is growing. The good news is that all that deliberation and thoughtfulness leads to success and wonderful things like job security. But I’m sure, it can also feel cold or distant for those more accustomed to working for a smaller business. I can say with confidence that the people of CHA are not cold and distant at all – on the contrary, we are warm and welcoming. Just give it time, it will feel normal again soon. I’m speaking for all of us when I say we are all very happy that you are now a part of the CHA team.

Project organization is confusing, don’t allow rollover of all time off, not enough paid time off and no designated sick time.

Thank you for your comments and I agree, we provide our employees lots of flexibility and we have great clients and projects, and our people are absolutely the best! We are working on improving the standardization of our project management. In fact, in the last few years, we’ve created a PMO, a PM Manual, PM Dashboards, PM Training and Certifications. You can find out more information on Project Management at CHA on our intranet pages! I think you are mistaken about rolling over time off, all employees roll over time but there is a limit to how much can be rolled over from year to year. We take this approach to ensure our people are proactively managing their time off and taking time throughout the year. Time off to relax and unplug is critical towards the mental and physical health of our employees. We should talk, I would like to understand more about your concerns relative to rolling over time and not having enough time – those two sentiments seem in conflict of each other. Why don’t you reach out to me or your HR Business Partner when you have some time. We would love to discuss this topic and learn more about your perspective. Thank you.
