Benefits Plus Balance
KFI offers a unique benefits package that prioritizes our employees’ holistic well-being, like flexible working hours, health and wellness resources, employee resource groups, and a variety of work travel benefits.
We strive to foster a collaborative and supportive company culture that recognizes and respects our employees’ personal priorities and professional goals.
Our people-first culture complements our client-first business approach. This approach lends itself to rewarding work with uniquely challenging projects and high-impact outcomes.
We’ve found that full in-office participation is crucial to helping us maintain our edge in the industry and provide optimal advancement opportunities for our people. That said, we recognize the advantage of working from home when it helps our employees: doctor visits, child duty, inclement weather — even a shortcut to the lake cabin on a Friday in June.
These traditions are an essential part of who we are.
We also believe that camaraderie fosters collaboration. As a team, we regularly gather at social functions, like our quarterly luncheons and our winter and summer gatherings.
Training and Development
At KFI, we clearly define advancement with career path documents outlining the skills to achieve this. KFI believes an investment in our employees’ personal success is an investment in our overall success.
We have five Operational Excellence Committees (OECs) that are employee-run, with guidance direct from company leadership. Our in-house education programs provide structured access to the courses that matter most to your professional development. In addition to structured education, those who demonstrate progressive excellence in our profession have the opportunity to participate in our leadership program focused on technical management and client relationships.
All our programs include personal coaching. We use results-based training tools, as well as mentorship programs to make sure you have every opportunity to develop. As with any program, success in development requires personal initiative as well, and a constant improvement mindset.
KFI also provides on-the-job training and coaching to help you succeed at utilizing both your interpersonal and technical communication skills to carry on client relationships while working on projects. Networking opportunities and professional society involvement are encouraged to get involved on the client level outside of regularly scheduled project meetings, as well as the key technical societies that govern our craft.
We believe in giving back in a variety of ways that support organizations related to our profession and communities. Our staff volunteers their time and talent at numerous organizations that help support our clients’ missions, including law enforcement foundations and educational initiatives. We also provide hands on exposure to the engineering profession for middle school and high school students through interactive programs and sponsorships, such as robotics teams and job shadowing.
