Social Responsibility: Employee Engagement
“We need to make sure that we are creating an environment where whatever life choices women make, these talented professionals can make the most out of their careers and make important contributions to the firm.” — Aine Brazil Vice Chairman
31% of our employees are women established a strong track record with regard to the percentage of women engineers and architects among new hires. Our goals include improving our retention rate and increasing the number of women in senior positions. Although informal surveys show that most women at the firm believe that Thornton Tomasetti does a good job of recognizing women in the workplace and that men and women are paid comparable salaries, men’s and women’s opinions differ on such issues as work-life balance and career advancement. Women@TT, a discussion group that started in 2013 and continues to grow, offers opportunities for our female employees to set themselves on paths toward professional development and leadership in a male-dominated industry and to assist in developing the careers of younger women. The group was created as a community of women who support and mentor each other and share in one another’s successes.
