Employee ownership defines KCI’s corporate culture. It fosters an entrepreneurial spirit, encourages technical expertise, and shapes our strategic planning and organization. As owners, KCI employees and managers share responsibility for growing the company by providing quality, innovative services to clients. Our people are self-starters, who enjoy mastering new technologies and solving project challenges. The company, meanwhile, nurtures an open and challenging environment, where everyone can make a difference, be rewarded for their efforts, and enjoy coming to work in the morning.
A Great Place to Work
CE News magazine has recognized KCI as one of the “Best Civil Engineering Firms to Work For” in the country. The atmosphere is open and relaxed, yet challenging and professional. KCI employee-owners understand they have a vested interest in the decisions that shape the company’s strategic and business plans, financial system, retirement plans, benefit packages, training opportunities, stock valuations, and the distribution of wealth and profits. The company shares financial, operational, and strategic information with employees through monthly town meetings and a corporate intranet, building trust and cooperation throughout the organization.

The company’s strong work ethic has enhanced KCI’s bottom line and, in turn, the value of employee stock. Since becoming employee-owned in 1988, KCI’s stock has more than 1,000%.
