At Water Systems Consulting, every team member is empowered to take an active role in our company. In 2020, we engaged all staff in developing a new strategic plan that highlighted goals related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. We care about our employees' physical and mental health and provide Fitbits to staff, organize wellness challenges, and provide a fitness/wellness reimbursement benefit. During the pandemic, we provided a tax-free cash payment of $1,000 to every employee to help offset the financial challenges of the past year.

As a firm, we coach our representatives to get involved in communities and associations that they believe in and can champion. We look for good people who work hard and want to have a greater impact in their communities. We have more than 30 nations represented at WestPac. We also do not have managers or subordinates. We have team members and associates, which defines the approach we take to helping our teams build their own business and determine their futures.

We believe employees should enjoy coming to work. Management keeps a regular check on our employees' well-being in and out of the workplace. All employees are expected and encouraged to take advantage of vacation time and half-day Fridays. We invite every employee to join one of our four solution groups, through which everyone has a voice in making improvements to the company.

We have been committed to serving the construction needs of our clients and fostering a family-like culture for more than 40 years. Early in our history, we recognized that those two goals are closely related. Our CEO puts this philosophy into action by coaching and mentoring employees and providing them with the personal and professional tools necessary to take our client relationships to the next level. We also place an emphasis on employee wellness and service to the Phoenix community that we call home.

We care about our employees as people first and give them the flexibility to take time away from the office, or work remotely, when they need to. We constantly improve benefit packages and offer flextime, paid holidays, and an onsite fitness center. Because we foster a familial atmosphere of caring and respect, our employees enjoy working together and are motivated to produce on-time and accurate work.
