According to survey results, 87% of employees affirmed that VELCO is a great place to work, while 92% of respondents felt welcomed upon joining the company—a reflection of VELCO's inclusive and supportive culture.

Their insights help us understand where we can improve and invest further in our people. At VELCO, we firmly believe that our employees are our greatest asset, and we are committed to creating a workplace where they can thrive.

Christopher McCarthy, Manager, IT Infrastructure, shared: “I’ve worked at many places, and VELCO’s onboarding program stands out. It gave me the opportunity to thoroughly understand the company and align my work more effectively. I’m truly grateful for the camaraderie and the welcoming environment here.”
VELCO's commitment to employee well-being is demonstrated in its robust offering of employee programs, including comprehensive health and wellness offerings, sustainability incentives, paid volunteer hours, tuition reimbursement, and professional development opportunities. Additionally, the company offers flexible work environments with both hybrid and onsite options, depending on the role.
