Staff Makes F&P Even More Green
Periodically, as part of Fehr & Peers Academy, staff from all tenures and locations are nominated to participate in Leadership Development Forums - an opportunity to provide leadership and guidance on issues of culture at the firm. The latest forum was held to strategize reduction of Fehr & Peers' environmental impacts associated with employee waste production, energy consumption, and commute choices by empowering employees to choose among a series of measures that are effective and economically viable.
The group spent a full day in discussions, and then created a list of recommendations to present to the firm's Executive Committee (the highest ranking leadership group, including the CEO). These recommendations will now be shared with all offices in the hopes that each one will find opportunities to adopt one or more that are feasible for itself.
It's official - Transit is the newest discipline group at Fehr & Peers. Other discipline groups are travel forecasting, impact assessment, pedestrian & bicycle, smart growth, operations, and design - they exist to promote information sharing, establish best practices, implement quality control procedures, and develop selected research projects. On average, 8-9 staff members from various offices are selected to work in these groups each year.
