At Hunt, cultivating a thriving and healthy work environment is a key factor in the company’s success. By providing a supportive, engaging, and safe workplace, Hunt is able to attract and retain top talent and create positive employee experiences that boost performance and overall job satisfaction.
We recognize that a significant amount of a person’s waking hours are spent at work, so we do our part to make sure that time is meaningful and fruitful by implementing the following processes and initiatives:
Active Recruitment Process
Our recruitment strategy centers around identifying the most suitable candidates for accomplishing the Company’s short-term goals and long-term vision while maintaining alignment with Hunt’s Core Values. We undergo proactive planning to review future hiring needs and an exhaustive selection process seeking top talent to remain competitive and innovative in the marketplace.
Frequent Feedback
Our employees are given the opportunity to clarify roles and responsibilities, discuss current and future priorities, review goals, and receive feedback on performance on an ongoing basis. This formalized “Check-In Process” offers consistent expectations, positive recognition, and constructive feedback to ensure long-term success at Hunt.
Performance Management
Conducted annually, employees complete a self-evaluation and managers rate and review each employee. Calibrations and technical reviews are conducted to ensure consistency, accuracy and fairness exist across the organization.
Strategic Workforce Planning
As our industry continues to evolve, so does our workforce. Our Human Resources business partners work directly with our executive leadership to determine both current and future workforce needs. Ongoing conversations on competency needs in both the short- and long-term help to plan and prepare for the future.
Succession Planning
In order to plan and prepare for the future needs of our leadership team, each senior leader develops a succession plan identifying potential leadership candidates. These plans are reviewed annually and accompanied by development plans, mentorship, coaching, and training to accelerate growth and the capabilities within our leadership pipeline. A redesign for succession planning is underway. Preparations for this effort commenced in 2023 with a strong focus on performance.
A Workplace for Us
“A Workplace for Us” is a signature Hunt program designed to integrate work/life balance and flexibility into the work week. This program includes flexible schedules, 9/80 shifts, work-from– home options, and enhanced paid time off (PTO) hours.
Global Collaboration
As a global corporation, we continuously assess and enhance our organizational design to ensure our ability to work effectively across regions without silos. We implement tools and processes that allow for uninhibited innovation collaboration across departments, business units, and countries.
Talent Review
Annually, leaders discuss the skills, talents, capabilities, and competencies of all individuals within their respective departments. This discussion may lead to future stretch assignments, international opportunities, and rotation of job functions to expand the breadth and depth of knowledge.
Onboarding Orientation
At Hunt, we embrace our culture of celebration, and our employees experience that on day one. New hires attend an orientation where they are greeted by employees across the company. Members from Human Resources, Security, and IT teams welcome and brief our new hires on all things “Hunt.”
New Hire Mixer
- New employees are invited to participate in a breakfast with the company’s CEO, and other executives to foster a welcoming environment, delve into the company culture, and address any inquiries.
Ambassador Program
- Upon employment, each new hire is partnered with an existing team member to serve as a support resource for ease of transition into the organization. The Ambassador program provides new hires with access to the knowledge and guidance of an experienced employee while they acclimate to Company culture, eliminating obstacles new hires may encounter and helping them to become more productive and comfortable in their jobs as quickly as possible.
