In 2012, West Yost received our third Sacramento Workplace
Excellence Leader (SWEL) Award from the Sacramento Area Human
Resource Association (SAHRA) and the Sacramento Bee. In 2011,
West Yost also ranked 13 in the Top 22 Nationwide on CE
News’ “Best Civil Engineering Firms to Work For” List.
West Yost offers the standard benefits most employees would
expect as well as a few that are quite unique. This includes
excellent Medical, with a choice of two different plans,
dental/vision benefits for full- and part-time (20+ hours/week)
employees and their families, and much more.
Our engineers are excited about interesting and challenging
projects, growing as professionals, and enjoying the time they
spend at work. At West Yost we have an organizational structure,
career coaching, and strategic planning process that focuses on
putting staff on the types of projects or assignments they are
most interested in.
West Yost recognizes that everyone, especially engineers and
scientists, desire and require training to excel in their
profession. We offer in-house presentations and webinars that
allow staff to socialize, learn from the presenter/presentation,
and learn from each other through interactive Q&A sessions
which follow each session. Training opportunities are also
provided to team members through webinars, online training,
in-house workshops, professional conferences, and off-site
commercially-provided seminars
West Yost values diversity in the workplace, which creates a
positive and effective work environment. This environment
attracts talented people, and it encourages current employees to
perform to their highest potential.
West Yost fosters diversity, and we respect the contributions of
all our employees through our corporate Affirmative Action Plan.
Each year, we measure the effectiveness of our action plan
efforts by benchmarking growth, and we develop future programs.
West Yost takes time and uses resources to celebrate our
corporate accomplishments, recognize individual achievements, and
to get to know each other and our family members outside of the
office setting.
West Yost historically has matched employee contributions for
specific causes and we routinely make contributions to
organizations that our employees support outside of their
professional lives.
