UniTek Global Services has received multiple Amazing Workplace recognitions for high levels of employee happiness, satisfaction, and HR compliance.

The recognitions follow an anonymous Employee Happiness Conversation conducted by Amazing Workplace. Through that process, UniTek employees were invited to share confidential feedback about their workplace experience. The results showed that 91% of UniTek employees reported being happy or very happy at work.

This result placed UniTek well above the required thresholds for several Amazing Workplace awards and certifications, including the Distinguished Workplace Happiness Award, Workplace Happiness Award, Certified Amazing Workplace, Certified Compliant Amazing Workplace, and Amazing Workplace Recognition.

Employee Happiness Across UniTek Global Services

UniTek Global Services is an infrastructure services company supporting telecommunications, broadband, power, and related construction services across the United States and Canada. With approximately 600 employees and more than 60 office and yard locations, UniTek provides field services through its operating divisions, including CI Services, Graycliff Enterprises, Hutchins Telecom, SDT Solutions, and Wirecomm.

The company’s work includes fiber construction, network maintenance, customer installations, drops, splicing, restoration, and related infrastructure services for broadband providers, network owners, utility partners, and infrastructure customers.

For UniTek, the Amazing Workplace recognitions reflect the importance of building a strong internal culture that supports employees while also strengthening field execution, safety, communication, and accountability.

One employee shared, “Love the leadership here. We are heard, and ideas are put together and utilized. Amazing place to work.”

Another employee noted, “I have the privilege of working with a great team where each member genuinely supports one another.”

Employee feedback also highlighted the value of working in an environment where team members can identify issues, correct mistakes, and continue improving.

One employee said, “I think what I like most about working here is the freedom to make and correct mistakes. I have worked at other places where even the tiniest mistake turned into a drama fest. Here I can learn and grow from my mistakes.”

Why Workplace Culture Matters in Infrastructure Construction

In telecommunications, broadband, power, and infrastructure construction, strong communication is essential. Teams must be able to raise concerns, address problems early, and work together to keep projects moving safely and effectively.

The feedback received through the Employee Happiness Conversation reflects a workplace culture where employees feel supported, heard, and trusted. In field operations, that type of culture supports safer decisions, stronger teamwork, and more consistent project execution.
