HCSS is a software firm that provides integrated construction management solutions to improve efficiency and allow infrastructure contractors to streamline their operations from estimate through to project completion. Created in 1986, 100% percent of the 105 employees now own stock in the company and enjoy a cash profit-sharing program which paid out 26% of salaries in 2007 and 17% in 2008. A highly developed HCSS University includes 4 divisions: Professional Development, Leadership Development, Personal Growth and New Employee On-boarding. In addition, open-book management and courses on ownership thinking led to cuts of $500,000 from the 2009 operating budget. This focus on ownership thinking accompanies a trend of promotion from within, with nearly 100% of 2007 and 2008 openings filled with current employees. The HCSS wellness program includes free annual biometric screening, daily fresh fruit and nuts, and onsite exercise facilities.
