WGI reviews

We appreciate your opinions on WGI being a fun place to work and on employee terminations. Enjoying the work environment is critical to our culture and success and yes, there is significant effort focused on client satisfaction and work product delivery, all while maintaining a fun and safe environment. Regarding the comment on WGI firing people all the time, I’d like you to be informed on the facts. First, WGI terminated just over 5% of our workforce in 2021 for a multitude of reasons, some related to safety, performance, and violation of polices, but all for good reason. Second, the average involuntary terminations across all U.S. businesses in 2021 was approximately 30%, so in comparison WGI performed exceptionally well. Third, within our peer group involuntary turnover averages about 4%, which is statically similar to WGI’s rate. While we would always like to see WGI do better, involuntary turnover is largely outside of our control. However, we are constantly working with professional consultants to coach and teach our hiring managers on areas of focus that enhance decision making at the time of hire, with the goal being better hiring decisions to reduce turnover.

Thank you! We’re impressed with your insightfulness and appreciate the candid and detailed feedback. At times, I know it’s hard to appreciate some decisions and operations but we really do try to put people first.
