People like working at CHG. How do we know? Our annual employee engagement survey results. Ninety-two percent of our employees feel engaged and happy with their career at CHG, and nearly 90% tell us they have no intention of leaving our company.
Our core value of Putting People First isn’t just lip service. We want our employees to be happy with their career path at CHG. By offering ongoing learning and development programs, top-tier benefits, leadership pathway classes, and unique benefits such as paid volunteer time off and a lifestyle spending account, we hope our employees — and new ones! — stay for a long time.
Growing through new opportunities
“I never would have imagined I’d be with the company for nearly three decades!” says sales manager Annalee Rowley. Rowley, of our CompHealth division, Pam Nielsen, a business applications manager, along with Kristian Wang, a contract administrator, have decades-long careers at CHG and say they intend to retire here.
When she joined CompHealth as a temp, Rowley says stepping into the workforce after a divorce was tough. She recalls, “I can’t tell you how much I owe to so many people who gave me an opportunity.”
She advanced to full-time work and eventually became a leader. “That’s definitely where I grew the most,” she recalls. “I’ve seen a lot of change, but CHG has given me every opportunity to be successful.”
As Wang tells the story, he was in a different line of sales when one of his customers, a CHG sales leader, approached him about changing jobs.
In the 25 years that followed, Wang says his CHG job has been equally evolving and challenging. He responds to requests for proposals from potential clients, does some technical writing, and acts as an interface between sales reps on the government team and the legal team.
“I’m making sure we’re meeting all the legal requirements and trying to maximize profit to the company,” he explains. Wang says for him, growth has come in the form of not only improving his writing skills but mastering new people skills, too.
For Nielsen, leaders made all the difference. When she joined CHG nearly four decades ago, she was a filing clerk, then a receptionist, where she taught herself Word and Excel. Five years later, she got her first job in accounts payable. Now, she’s a manager in business applications.
“I never thought I would be where I am today,” she says. “I had some great leaders who were an example. They took the time to mentor me and saw what I didn’t see in myself. They really inspired me, pushed me, and helped me develop into my current role.”
Wang volunteers extensively with the Scouts BSA. CHG supports his service and his passion for helping his daughter’s troop be successful. Being able to use CHG’s paid volunteer time off gives him time to participate.
“Through CHG, I’ve been able to travel and go to places that I never thought I would see,” Pam says. “I got to see a bigger world, and my growth and development has been amazing.”

Looking to the future
Wang doesn't see himself retiring anytime soon.
“When I started,” he says, “I told them I’d give them five years. It went a little longer than that.” Retirement? “I figure it’s another 20 years out,” he says.
“They’re never going to get rid of me!” Nielsen says. “I’ll be this old lady with a walker scooting down the hallway.”
Rowley adds, “I turned a temp job into a 30-plus-year career. There’s never, ever been a thought in my mind to go anywhere else. They’ve taken such good care of me and allowed me to have a wonderful career.”
