PCL Construction Named a Best Workplace for Millennials

DENVER, June 23, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PCL Construction is honored to announce that after surveying nearly 90,000 millennials, the Great Place to Work® Institute and Fortune magazine have recognized PCL as one of the 100 Best Workplaces For Millennials in the country. PCL is ranked #73.

This ranking comes from an anonymous survey of millennial employees administered by the workplace-culture experts at the Great Place to Work® Institute. PCL considers this honor exceptionally notable because it closely relates to the well-being of our employees and to PCL's long-term success.

"While PCL celebrates our rich, diverse history, we also continue to look to the future," said Shaun Yancey, PCL president and COO of US operations. "We're proud to have an inclusive workplace environment where several generations feel valued, enjoy coming to work, and share the same goals of producing the best work possible for our clients."

In just 10 years, millennials will make up 75 percent of the workforce. To compete for top talent and ensure their long-term success, businesses must prepare to appeal to and engage this unique generation of employees.

"Companies focused on solid growth understand that it's critical for senior leaders to have an in-depth understanding of all their employees' experiences, regardless of their age, role in the organization, or any other demographic profile," said Michael Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work® Institute United States. "Great workplaces are constantly monitoring and analyzing their employees' workplace experiences and then taking action to improve them. Ranking on this list is a great indicator that these companies' efforts to create great workplaces are resonating with millennials."

The 100 Best Workplaces for Millennials is part of a series of rankings by Great Place to Work® Institute and Fortune based entirely on employee surveys from published Great Place to Work® reviews. The series has in the past included lists for the technology, retail, financial services, advertising, and manufacturing sectors.
