The People
"I'm truly blessed to work with a group of individuals who have integrity and really care about the quality they produce and send to the business," says Tiffany Kunz, business systems analyst at CHG. "It's an added bonus that I consider them friends. We just have a lot of fun. We joke around and take time out to enjoy each other's company."
Leadership
"What really drew me to CHG is the leaders. My leaders have always been personable and actually care about my overall wellbeing," shares Ben Clark, IT security analyst at CHG. "The people here are sincere and make a huge difference in my life. I wake up in the morning and want to come to work because of the people and because of the culture."
Putting People First
"At the end of the day, if you are going through something difficult, you know people have your back," says Trevor Nielson, IT development manager at CHG. "Even when we go through difficult challenges, no matter how hard it gets, people really come first. Making sure that everyone is taken care of is at the top of the priority list."
Work/Life Balance
"It's fantastic to have the kind of scheduling flexibility that allows me to work and achieve my goals, and still be able to attend my kids' school events or spend time with my family," Kunz says.
Employee Network Groups
"I'm the president of the photography Employee Network Group," Nielson adds. "It's great that CHG embraces what I'm interested in by providing funding and availability of people to explore hobbies and things that I'm personally interested in."
