Health and SafetyBack to Top
CHA’s health and safety program instills a culture of safety that reduces accidents for employees. This culture of health and safety permeates through the entire organization, from entry-level professionals to our top executives. We also offer health, safety and industrial hygiene programs to assist clients in alleviating and controlling workplace and environmental hazards.
SustainabilityBack to Top
Sustainability is at the core of how we conduct our business. Responsibly Improving the World We Live In is what we do every day to inspire our employees, elate our clients and create value for our employees, clients, business partners, and communities. This long-term value creation enables a growing and sustainable company now and into the future. We invite you to read our first comprehensive Sustainability Report which details CHA’s commitment to doing business in a way that meets the needs of the present while contributing to an environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable future.
Inclusion and DiversityBack to Top
At CHA, we are committed to the values of inclusion, diversity and equality, and to the full participation of all people. These are core company values at the heart of who we are as an organization. While it begins with our aspiration to responsibly improve the world we live in, it goes far beyond that in all that we do in our business and in our personal lives. CHA has and will continue to embrace and celebrate the diversity of voices our employees, clients, partners, and communities represent.
To build diverse teams and a diverse workforce, we leverage recruiting processes to ensure we are identifying and presenting the most qualified and diverse candidates for employment. Beyond our employees, we are committed to meeting our clients’ Minority/Women-owned Business Enterprise (M/WBE) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business (SDVOB) goals and to the greatest extent possible, maximizing the use of disadvantaged businesses in our contracts. We actively and deliberately establish strong, collaborative relationships with M/WBE and SDVOB firms throughout the country and regularly look for opportunities to partner with them and engage them in our projects.
In 2020, we formed an Inclusion & Diversity Council with more than 20 colleagues from across the organization in support of fostering an environment where every single CHA employee will be fully respected and valued for their contributions, regardless of their differences. Our team will strive to find new ways to interact, to learn from each other, and to improve our world – and we’ll take action that will propel us forward as a company that is progressive, inclusive, respectful, and forward-leaning.
President's MessageBack to Top
CHA is a diverse company with a rich history and exceptional staff. At our core, CHA’s commitment to sustainability comes through in the work we do, in the communities we build, and as we work to create a better, more sustainable workplace. Our diversification across markets, geographies, and the services we provide has driven CHA’s success, especially during difficult times.
This past year has presented us with challenges we didn’t anticipate, and our team has risen to meet them, partnering with our clients to address some of the toughest situations they have ever faced. We’ve also undergone a significant change to our business model including an evolution to an even more client and market focused organization, designed to support our growth and goal to become the most client-centered and responsive engineering firm in the industry.
Strong leadership and collaboration centered around sectors and markets form the foundation of our organization. CHA’s sectors include Infrastructure, Buildings, Power, and Fire Protection Services with each of those sectors consisting of targeted business lines. CHA’s markets incorporate the firm’s major client groups: Government, Industry, Utility, Education, and Commercial Development.
I am confident our enhanced structure led by our operating Sector Presidents and supported by the leaders for our business lines, corporate teams, and markets will provide the most efficient pathway for us to meet our broader strategic goals – to strategically plan and invest in key areas, to serve our clients with distinction, and to continue to pursue larger and broader projects as we stay committed to Responsibly Improving the World We Live In.
