To blow off steam while meeting important goals, BNSF encourages employees to play in a company game room complete with a ping pong table, pool table and an XBOX. Employees can ditch the suits for shorts, flip flops and ball caps on Fridays.

Overall health of employees is important to BNSF. The company offers a health and wellness program called “Be Your Best Self,” which challenges employees to improve their fitness. The office has on-site showers in the men and women’s restrooms for employees who want to get a workout in on their lunch break.

Due to the nature of their company, BNSF recognizes their social responsibility to help make the world a greener place. The company is working to reduce the CO2 grams/mile output from the use of transportation vehicles, leading to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

Since 2005, BNSF has been part of the SmartWay Transport Partnership in collaboration with the EPA to improve the freight sector’s environmental impact. The company has also implemented in-office recycling programs.
